Description
This classic garlic roasted cauliflower is a simple yet flavorful side dish featuring tender, caramelized florets infused with rich garlic and olive oil. Roasted at high heat for crispy edges and a soft interior, it’s a healthy, gluten-free option that complements any meal.
Ingredients
1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
3–4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4–6 cloves garlic, minced or thinly sliced
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash, dry, and cut cauliflower into uniform florets.
Toss florets with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper until well coated.
Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20–30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
Notes
For extra crispiness, ensure florets are completely dry and not overcrowded on the baking sheet.
