How to Make Simply Roasted Cauliflower

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and cut 1 medium head of cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Pat completely dry with paper towels.
  3. In a large bowl, toss cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Spread cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet with sides (approximately 9x13 inches).
  5. Roast for 45 minutes, tossing halfway through (at the 22-minute mark), until golden brown and slightly crispy at the edges. Add more salt and pepper to taste after removing from the oven.
