How to Make Roasted Cauliflower

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Remove stems and leaves from 1 medium head of cauliflower.
  3. Rinse cauliflower thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels.
  4. Cut the cauliflower into florets (approximately 1-inch size).
  5. In a large bowl, toss cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Spread cauliflower florets in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  7. Roast for 40 minutes, then flip florets and roast for another 30 minutes, turning halfway through for even browning. Internal temperature should reach 195-200°F (90-93°C).
  8. Remove from oven and serve immediately. Enjoy!
