This Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Cauliflower recipe has a savory blend of spices making it a delicious side dish any time of year!
This recipe was created out of my desire to use up some vegetables before they turned. I like roasted sweet potatoes and I like roasted cauliflower, so I decided to combine the two. My husband and kids liked the final product so much that it has become a family favorite and shows up regularly on our menu. My family even request this in place of Candied Yams for our Thanksgiving dinner.
I usually roast the veggies at 400 degrees and it takes about 30 minutes for them to cook. However, when I am in a hurry, I throw them in the broiler and cut the cooking time in half. If you choose to broil them, you need to turn them every 4 – 5 minutes until they are fork tender, so they don’t end up getting charred.

What a vegetable this is. I love how versatile cauliflower is. I so tempted to try your recipe later this week (I have 3 heads of cauliflower waiting for me at home.) I will come back to your site and report on how your recipe turned out for sure! Would you like to take a look at my most recent cauliflower creation? http://cuceesprouts.com/2010/09/marinated-cauliflower-salad/
