Description
A simple recipe for roasting a whole head of cauliflower until tender and slightly caramelized.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 whole head cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
- Remove any outer, loose leaves from the cauliflower head. Trim the stem so the cauliflower sits flat.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
- Place the cauliflower on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the oil mixture evenly over the entire surface of the cauliflower.
- Roast for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender when pierced with a fork and the outer edges are browned.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can substitute other spices like cumin or turmeric for paprika.
- For extra flavor, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the roasted cauliflower before serving.
