MISO ROASTED CAULIFLOWER

There’s a funny story behind this recipe. 

A few months ago (pre-pandemic) I was itching to experiment with miso paste, but couldn’t find it at my local grocery store. I headed over to Amazon, dropped a couple in my shopping cart and forgot about them until they showed up at my door a few days later. When I opened the package, I was surprised to see 2 jumbo-sized bags of miso paste staring back at me. I’m talking two industrial-sized, 2 lb. bags. They were huge. It appeared that in all my Amazon Prime ordering excitement, I neglected to check sizing.

I wish I could say that was the first time that happened to me, but I cannot.

Luckily, with 6 month expiration dates, I have plenty of time to experiment. A hard job, I know, but I like a challenge. 

In my recent recipe testing with this ingredient, I’ve stumbled upon several keepers, with this miso roasted cauliflower being one of my favorite discoveries.

    This was very tasty and easy! I definitely see what you mean about not crowding the roasting pan. That made a huge difference in quality. I love miso–glad to have a way to use it!
