Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets

Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting the cauliflower to a nice golden color.
  2. Prepare the cauliflower: Wash and cut the cauliflower into medium-sized florets, making sure they are relatively uniform for even cooking.
  3. Roast the cauliflower: Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil and a pinch of salt, then spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown on the edges.
  4. Make the lemon pepper glaze: While the cauliflower roasts, mix fresh lemon juice with freshly cracked black pepper and a small amount of olive oil to create a tangy, peppery glaze.
  5. Glaze the cauliflower: Remove the roasted cauliflower from the oven and immediately drizzle the lemon pepper glaze over the florets, tossing gently to coat evenly.
  6. Serve warm: Serve the glazed cauliflower hot as a flavorful side dish or a healthy snack.

Notes

  • Use fresh black pepper for the best flavor impact.
  • Adjust the amount of lemon juice to your taste preferences for tanginess.
  • You can add a pinch of garlic powder or fresh herbs like parsley for extra flavor.
  • Ensure cauliflower florets are spread out on the baking sheet for even roasting.
  • This dish is best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in a skillet or oven.
