Loaded with vitamin C, B6 (proven to fight nausea!), magnesium, protein, calcium and iron, there’s really no healthier pregnancy food than cauliflower. It can cause gas in some people, though, which pregnancy can make even worse. If this is a problem for you, try taking an enzyme-based supplement such as Beano(r).
Roasting cauliflower is simple, and it’s sweet and delicious served by itself, with a little vinegar, vinaigrette or Romesco sauce or in a curry.
- 1 pound cauliflower, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices, or frozen
- About 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Preheat over to 375 degrees. Place chopped cauliflower in a large mixing bowl and pour on enough olive oil to coat. Season generously with salt and pepper and toss until evenly coated.
Lay out pieces on a shallow baking dish, drizzle any remaining oil on top. Bake, turning once, until browned and tender, about 25-30 minutes (about 5 minutes less if frozen). Serve warm or at room temperature.
