I make this roasted cauliflower almost every single week because it is so easy and healthy. When you roast the florets at a high heat, they get those beautiful brown edges that taste amazing.

It is a wonderful side dish for almost any meal. You can also toss it into salads or grain bowls, or just eat it right off the pan while it is still warm.

Ingredients

  • 1 large head of cauliflower
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    Cut the cauliflower into bite sized florets and discard the tough core.

  3. 3

    Place the florets on a large sheet pan in a single layer.

  4. 4

    Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower and sprinkle with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  5. 5

    Toss everything together well so each piece is coated in oil and spices.

  6. 6

    Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and tender.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can reheat them in the oven or air fryer to bring back some of that original crispiness.
