Roasted Whole Cauliflower w/ Breading

This is one of those recipes that I had to try because it looked so interesting, and it got rave reviews on allrecipies.com.  I was not to be disappointed!  The cauliflower was tender, sweet, and had just the right amount of crunch with the yummy topping.  My girls enjoyed this too…the cauliflower was really very sweet, a fun side to try out when bagged broccoli and salad sound a bit too familiar and boring (speaking from experience of course!)!!

INGREDIENT TIP:  Making your own gluten free (or any!) breadcrumbs is EASY!  I like to save my stale and end pieces (and lets be honest, some failed gf vegan bread recipes too!) over time in bag in the freezer.  When I need some crumbs, I pulse the whole bag, thawed, in my food processor until the texture of fine crumbs is reached.  I use them just like this.  BUT since there are not dried out, you will have to store these crumbs in the freezer so they do not mold.
