Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cauliflower: Start by washing the cauliflower thoroughly and cutting it into evenly sized florets to ensure even roasting.
  2. Toss with Olive Oil and Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss well so each piece is evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
  3. Roast the Cauliflower: Spread the coated florets in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  4. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving as a crunchy, flavorful side or snack.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, make sure the cauliflower is dry before tossing with oil.
  • You can add additional seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, or Parmesan cheese for more flavor.
  • Roast in a single layer without overcrowding to ensure even cooking and crisping.
  • Leftover roasted cauliflower can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
