Have you had the pleasure of enjoying a bright chimichurri sauce? If not, let me introduce you! This sauce is something my dad serves in his kitchen. So it tastes like Sunday night dinners at my parents house in the Summer. We put this on meat, potatoes, veggies, anything and everything. It's made up of greens, in this case Cilantro and green onion, and I tossed in some cumin as well as red wine vinegar for acid all brought together with olive oil!
But, back to the main event here. The BBQ Roasted Cauliflower. I used a healthy, sweet, spicy BBQ sauce by Primal Kitchen . I purchased mine at my local Sprouts! I've not used a ton of these products but I totally intend on it now! Guilt free and so flavorful, it really made the difference in this dish!
This is a gorgeous looking dish and can be presented as a whole head of roasted cauliflower, cut into steaks, or pulled apart into florets! The bright red sauce against the yummy green chimichurri is just stunning! It would be a perfect addition to your family's Sunday dinner table.
