ROASTED CAULIFLOWER

My boys love this recipe. Cooking cauliflower in this way really brings out a delicious toasty flavor because it browns on the baking sheet.

1 head cauliflower, cored and cut into relatively even-sized florets
Extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and ground black pepper (I like to use Kosher salt)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spread the cauliflower out evenly over a baking sheet and drizzle with oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the pieces evenly and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until pieces are tender and tops are light brown. Serve immediately.

Optional: After baking, sprinkle a little freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top and finish with a few squirts of fresh lemon juice.

    1. Yes--the cooking time will vary depending on what type of vegetable you use, but the ingredients and technique are the same!
