Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces baby cauliflower (Caulilini)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to achieve caramelization.
  • Rinse the baby cauliflower, pat dry, and trim the ends of the stems. Cut larger pieces in half.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower with olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Spread the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding.
  • Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway for even browning until golden and tender.
  • Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm as a side dish or in salads and grain bowls.

Notes

  • Add minced garlic for a robust flavor boost.
  • Sprinkle red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Drizzle with balsamic glaze after roasting for tanginess.
