Ingredients
- one large head cauliflower (~ 1 1/2 lb), chopped into bite size florets
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F for convection roast if you got it. (Use regular bake if you don't).
- Mix together all ingredients in a bowl.
- Spread on a baking sheet, making sure to not overcrowd (that will cause steaming and not roasting). Bake 15-20 minutes or until tender and browning. You can turn the broiler on for the last couple minutes to get it to brown if needed, but watch closely that it doesn't burn.
- Add salt to taste. Happy Eating! Beckie
Notes
- This is the basic recipe for roasting cauliflower florets. Variations are endless. Use any herb you got on hand or add chili pepper flakes for heat. Add a little grated Parmesan if you've got that.
- If you know that your oven doesn't get very hot, turn up the heat to 450F instead of 425F.
- If there is a flat edge of the cauliflower lay that down on the sheet pan. This is where the caramelization starts first.
