I love simple vegetable side dishes! Having a meal with at least one vegetable helps ensure you’re getting that minimum of 5 servings of fruits and veggies in per day! The more vegetables you get in a day, the better, despite what anybody else says.

Here’s a simple, yummy side dish for pretty much any meal! Total prep and cook time is about 35 minutes, so very doable for those with a tight schedule.

Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower, washed and cut into florets
• 1 can olive oil spray
• 3 cloves of garlic, pressed
• 1 lemon, cut in half. Keep one half whole, cut second half into thin slices

7. Place cookie sheet with cauliflower into oven. Let bake for 20-25 minutes, remove, stir with a spoon, and return to oven.
