Where the calories come from

About 24% of the calories in Roasted Cauliflower come from protein, a moderate amount. Most of its calories (67%) come from carbohydrates.

Calculated with 4 kcal per gram of protein and carbohydrate and 9 kcal per gram of fat, so the total can differ slightly from the listed calories.

Roasting gives cauliflower golden, caramelized edges and a nutty flavor, and on its own it is very light at about 29 kcal per 100 g. These values assume little or no added fat, which is where roasted vegetables gain most of their calories. Every tablespoon of oil tossed with the florets adds roughly 120 kcal, so a light spray or measured spoonful goes a long way.
