Ah, roasted cauliflower—simple, healthy, and packed with flavor! Here’s a foolproof way to make it:
Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Optional extras: garlic powder, paprika, parmesan, or lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven:
- Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). High heat helps the cauliflower get nice and golden.
- Prep the cauliflower:
- Wash and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
- Pat them dry (this helps them roast instead of steam).
- Season:
- Toss the florets in olive oil, salt, pepper, and any optional spices you like.
- Roast:
- Spread the cauliflower evenly on a baking sheet (don’t overcrowd them).
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and tender.
- Serve:
- Optional: squeeze fresh lemon juice, sprinkle parmesan, or drizzle with a little balsamic glaze for extra flavor.
💡 Pro Tips:
- For extra crispiness, don’t cover them in foil.
- You can experiment with spices: curry powder, smoked paprika, or chili flakes work great.
- Roasted cauliflower is amazing cold too—perfect for salads or snacks.
