Vegan "Cheesy" Garlic Herbed Cauliflower Crown + Potatoes

Cauliflower is an interesting vegetable. Some people love it. Some people dislike it. Through a spiritual lens, the cauliflower looks like a cloud, or something similar to our brain. When admiring the cauliflower, it is like the lotus flower, which is one that blossoms with the birth of the brain.  

Like thoughts in a cloud, it has a unique geometric pattern that is a marvelous gift from nature. When roasted, the flavors transform into an almost buttery vegetable that nourishes the body. 

This is either best as a meal itself or served as a side dish. This can be split between two to four people, depending on how you'd like to serve this. As seen in the steps above, the transformation and of the dish is symbolic to our journey and progress in life. Something can transform but still remain beautiful. Enjoy!
