Question for Linda about roasted cauliflower

Kaos0100 · 02-22-2006, 05:35 AM

Linda - I love to make the roasted cauliflower in the oven with olive oil and salt and pepper. Since roasting it causes it to reduce so much, do have any idea how I could tell how many carbs I'm getting once its cooked? Thanks.

Not really. All I can suggest is to measure or weigh out your portion and keep it to one side of the baking sheet so you'll know how much you're eating. Either that or figure the carbs for the whole head before you start and divide it up after roasting by the number of servings you want based on the carbs you want to eat. I think it would be a good idea to have in mind how many servings to expect because it will be very hard to stop eating it once it's baked.

Actually I use the frozen. Since I eat very little, due to weight loss surgery, I just cook a little at a time. Usually by the time it is cooked, I only have 2-3 tablespoons of cauliflower.

Do you thaw the cauliflower before you roast it? and can you make the cali-rice with the frozen stuff?
Thanks

Check out this thread Popcorn Cauliflower. Dottie tells how to make it using frozen cauliflower. I've never tried shredding frozen cauliflower for "rice" though. I'm not sure if that would work.

I don't thaw it before I roast it.

I also roast broccoli. Yummy. have to stop my self from eating it all. I like it cold too. I try no to make too much at once and am just guessing at the carbs because fit day asks for cups and brocolli is too odd shaped to measure and florets9 how big is a floret?) florets come in all sizes.

I truly wonder how much harm I do if I eat too much broccoli?

I line cookie sheet with tin foil for easy clean up.
