Oven Roasted Cauliflower Base Recipe
This is one of the base recipes featured in our Whole Life Meal Plan. We love roasting vegetables in general, but there is something almost magical about oven roasted cauliflower!
Servings: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 ½ Tablespoons canola or avocado oil
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 12 ounces cauliflower florets (~1 large head)
Additions to YOUR taste
- 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh herbs
- 1 small garlic clove, minced (~½ teaspoon)
- ¼-1 teaspoon spice(s)
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 1-2 Tablespoons grated or shredded parmesan cheese
- Sprinkle lemon juice and/or zest from half lemon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine oil, salt, and optional hearty herbs, garlic, spices, and pepper.
- Break larger cauliflower florets into smaller pieces and add to the bowl. Using a spatula, toss to evenly coat with oil mixture.
- Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan. Roast 16-18 minutes or until edges are brown and florets are easily pierced with a fork.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with optional fresh herbs, parmesan, lemon juice, and/or lemon zest to taste. Enjoy!
Notes
If using a whole head of cauliflower, be sure to cut it into uniform, bite-sized pieces. If using bagged florets, break large pieces into smaller pieces.
