Ingredients
1 head cauliflower, broken into flowerettes
2 apples, de-cored and cut into thick slices, or chunks
4 thick slices bacon, cut into strips
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
Salt & Pepper
Marinate the cauliflower and apples in the vinegar for about 1 hour. I used a gallon ziploc bag and shook it altogether.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with oil.
Spread out the
cauliflower and apple slices on the prepared baking sheet and cover with the
chopped bacon and generous amounts of salt and pepper.
Roast for 40 minutes.
Remove from the
oven and using a spatula, flip the cauliflower mixture.
Place back in the
oven and roast for another 15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and
the bacon is crisp.
