The idea behind this whole roasted cauliflower skillet is to have it replace the turkey at the table…hence the cauliflower floret booties. Comical, but in reality there’s no unsightly animal bones that need covering up. This veggie roast is super tasty and savory. In fact, the gravy that’s basted all over the cauliflower is going to be your new fave go-to vegan gravy recipe.
