You won't even believe how delicious and easy this recipe is. I really can't even call it a recipe, because there are only about 3 ingredients. I even think some cauliflower-haters or those uncertain of their love for cauliflower will find it tasty and delicious. We found we were eating these toasty nuggets right off the baking sheet while waiting for the rest of dinner to finish cooking.
Don't be afraid of high heat in your oven - it produces a lovely caramelized exterior and really boosts the flavor and deliciousness.
Roasted Cauliflower - serves as many as you have cauliflower
1 head cauliflower
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper
Preheat oven to 495 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the florets off of the head of cauliflower and place them into a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil until they are lightly coated, tossing the bowl to be sure they are all coated. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast for 15 minutes, keeping an eye to be sure they don't burn. Rotate the pan after 10 minutes to ensure even browning. Cook until the florets are nicely browned. Serve hot or at room temperature, as a salad. YUM!!
Did you know that cauliflower is loaded with vitamin C? Now you do!
