These nutritional figures should be considered estimates. Varying factors such as product types or brands purchased, natural fluctuations in fresh produce, and the way ingredients are processed change the effective nutritional information in any given recipe.

The roasted cauliflower leftover's can be stored in the refrigerator for several days.

You can make this the day before. You'll re-heat at 350 degrees until warm (about 15 minutes); and make sure to reserve some of the sauce, to top after reheating.
