Roasted Garlic Cauliflower

Cauliflower is a vegetable in the same plant family as broccoli, kale and cabbage. The head of a cauliflower plant is surrounded by coarse green leaves, which protect it from sunlight and stop the development of chlorophyll (the stuff that makes plants green) - contributing to the white coloring of most varieties of cauliflower.

I've only recently begun eating cauliflower again. I was badly scarred after an unfortunate mix-up: I thought I was eating a big bite of warm, buttery mashed potatoes - but in fact I was eating a large amount of cold, pureed cauliflower. It still haunts me. However, this cauliflower recipe was so delicious, I believe my cauliflower rehabilitation will be successful!
