Ingredients
- Cauliflower
- 1 medium head, cut into florets
- Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons
- Garlic
- 4 cloves, minced
- Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon, or to taste
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
- Fresh parsley (optional)
- for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to ensure each floret is well-coated with the seasoning.
- Spread the seasoned cauliflower evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. This allows for even roasting and helps achieve that coveted golden brown color.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown, stirring once halfway through to promote even cooking.
- Once roasted, remove the cauliflower from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
- Serve hot as a delicious side dish that pairs beautifully with your favorite proteins or as part of a hearty vegetarian meal.
Tips
- For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.
- Experiment with other herbs such as thyme or rosemary for different flavor profiles.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be enjoyed cold or reheated.
