Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and position a rack in the middle of the oven.
  • If the baby cauliflower is wet, pat it dry. Spread 12 ounces of baby cauliflower in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Drizzle the cauliflower with 2 tablespoons olive oil, then evenly sprinkle 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper over it.
  • Toss the cauliflower on the baking sheet (with tongs or by hand) until all pieces are evenly coated, then spread them out again so pieces are not overlapping.
  • Roast on the middle rack for 10–15 minutes, turning once halfway through for even browning, until the cauliflower is tender and the edges are browned to your liking.
