Ingredients

- 2 tablespoonsolive oil
- 1 teaspoonkosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoonblack pepper
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.
