Garlic Roasted Cauliflower

roasted cauliflower and garlic, sprinkled with ground pepper

I’ve been obsessed with cauliflower lately, particularly when roasted with garlic. In fact, for this recipe, the cauliflower is more of a carrier for the garlic. So maybe I have more of a garlic obsession.

Ingredients

  • 1 head garlic

  • 1/3 head cauliflower

  • 2T olive oil

  • salt to taste

  • ground pepper to taste

Directions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350F.
  • Slice your cauliflower into little florets no bigger than 1/2″ (1.25cm) wide.
  • Wash the cauliflower and spread it out on a baking tray while still wet.
  • Peel your garlic and nestle the cloves in between the cauliflower.
  • Drizzle olive oil on top of the cauliflower and garlic. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the tray to taste.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the cauliflower starts to brown.

Notes

  • Depending on how much you love garlic, use a ratio of 1 head of garlic to 1/3-1 head of cauliflower.
  • If you’re short on time, bake your cauliflower for 12 minutes. It should still be soft and tasty, it just won’t be as tasty as if you wait for it to brown.
  • You can also bake it for 12 minutes and follow up with 5 minutes air frying or broasting on the hottest setting your oven can go. It won’t be as tender as baking for a full 30 minutes, but it will help you achieve browning faster.
