This was delicious! I followed the roasting instructions, and used Colima Salt, pepper and Zesty Garlic Pluck (Chef James at EatNakedKitchen). I did it with cabbage and served it over the Cilantro lime chicken. I will definitely add it to my rotation. I also will try it with cauliflower. Yum! Thank you!
