It's cauliflower
It's very pretty cauliflower, but at the end of the day it's still just cauliflower

i was gonna object until i realized that you're pretty much right.. different texture, same taste. cooler fractal paintjob.

makes sense, was thinking about sautéing it with some pancetta and onions and crushed fresh tomatoes

Use a sieve to get the resins out. Throw out the resins, put the fractals in the oven at 550F for 20min. Fly through space with meeeEEE!

I genuinely wrote an essay about how this vegetable disturbed me for a college application 8 years ago, and I got in.

What's to elaborate on?
The kinds of people that review college applications are bored OUT OF THEIR FUCKING MINDS.

A giggle is worth more than a million years of community service.

I wrote about how the creepy fractal shape is derived from the Fibonacci sequence, which is itself creepy and probably used by space aliens. I said I didn't like how this bizarre fibonacci spiral stuff was appearing in grocery store bags of frozen broccoli and cauliflower, and that it was probably an alien intelligence integrating itself in our food supply covertly.

I probably would have gotten in regardless of what I wrote. I hope my writing was at least a bit funny though.

Don't rice, mash it, or soupify it like cauliflower. Roast it or dice it in 1 inch pieces to preserve the shape.

he's not autistic, you're just a fool. romanesco is way pricier than broccoli or cauliflower and tastes pretty much the same as cauliflower (but kinda like broccoli). only reasonm romanesco is cool is cause of the fractals

OP here. this shit is delicious broken into florets and roasted with onions, garlic cloves, and heirloom grape tomatoes (sadly, probably the last good tomatoes i'll get at the farmer's market this season), tossed with olive oil, s&p, and chili flakes. i grated some fresh pecorino romano on top.

it has the texture of cauliflower and the flavor of broccoli. i'll definitely get it again.
