Oven-Roasted Cauliflower

Ingredients

• 1 (3- to 4-pound) head cauliflower
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp ground black pepper

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. Meanwhile, remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower head, then cut the florets away from the stalk. Discard the stalk and leaves.
3. Cut the cauliflower florets into bite-sized (about 1-inch) pieces.
4. Add the cauliflower, oil, salt, and black pepper to a large bowl. Toss to combine and coat the cauliflower.
5. Transfer the cauliflower to a baking sheet and spread into an even layer.
6. Bake until fork-tender and starting to brown, about 20-25 minutes, stirring about halfway through the cooking time.
7. Serve warm.

Any other vegetable (e.g. broccoli, Brussels sprouts, carrots), can be roasted using this recipe. Note that the preparation and cooking time will likely vary. For a boost of flavor, try adding another spice or herb such as coriander, cumin, dried dill, garlic powder, or ground ginger.
