Oregano and Garlic Roasted Cauliflower

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

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Serve hot as a delicious side dish that pairs beautifully with your favorite proteins or as part of a hearty vegetarian meal.
