The Chew: Spicy Roasted Head Of Cauliflower Recipe

The Chew: Spicy Roasted Head Of Cauliflower

Actor, author, and director David Duchovny joined Mario Batali in the kitchen on The Chew. He joked that all he really knows how to make are omelets, but he typically makes them with cream cheese or bananas, which is certainly a bit different than what most people are used to! Together, Mario and David prepared Spicy Roasted Head of Cauliflower, which is a refreshingly unique way to prepare the popular vegetable. Cauliflower itself is certainly a trendy, especially when it comes to cauliflower rice or cauliflower crusts, so this is a new way to enjoy it! Even better, Mario served it up with fresh pita and homemade tzatziki.
