Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon and Olives

In this recipe, mild cauliflower is the perfect foil for savory olives and tangy lemon zest. You can substitute Romanesco cauliflower, sometimes called Romanesco broccoli, for the white cauliflower. These eye-catching members of the big cabbage family are a beautiful shade of lime green and have cone-shaped florets that look like exotic seashells. They are slightly sweeter and more tender than white cauliflower. You’ll find Romanesco cauliflower in the market from late September through November.
