Cajun Roasted Cauliflower With Avocado Coleslaw

Cajun Roasted Cauliflower With Avocado Coleslaw

Cajun cuisine is a style of cooking named for the French-speaking Acadian people deported by the British from Acadia in Canada to what is now called the Acadiana region of Louisiana. Cajun cuisine is sometimes referred to as a “rustic cuisine”, meaning that it is based on locally available ingredients and preparation is relatively simple. This dish is both easy to prepare and presents beautifully. The baked Cajun batter with the cauliflower is such an enjoyable combination.
