Fall

Now that fall is here, it's time to start adapting our dinner menus and indulging in some yummy fall staples. Of all the recipes I've come across in the past few weeks, the first one I'm excited to try is Crispy Cauliflower with Lemon and Mint. It's only a few ingredients, super quick to throw together and looks D-E-L-I-S-H!!!



INGREDIENTS
1 medium head cauliflower (about 1 pound), trimmed and cut into small florets
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Salt
1½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
⅓ teaspoon red-pepper flakes
4 mint leaves, torn

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 400˚. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and a pinch of salt. Transfer the cauliflower to a rimmed baking sheet and roast, rotating the baking sheet and stirring the cauliflower halfway through, until the edges are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
2. In a medium skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the cauliflower and cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until crispy and warmed through, about 4 minutes.
3. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower with the lemon juice, pepper flakes and mint. Season with salt and serve immediately.

Now that fall is here, all I can think about is lake weekends and summer games of Bocce ball... WHAT is wrong with my brain these days? I feel a serious, end of summer depression coming on....
