Crispy Roasted Cauliflower
This recipe turns a simple cauliflower into a crispy, flavorful side dish that even those who aren’t huge fans of cauliflower will enjoy. The cauliflower is cut into florets, tossed with a bit of oil and aromatic spices such as paprika, turmeric, garlic, salt, pepper, and optionally chili, and then roasted in the oven. The heat creates crispy, golden edges while keeping the inside tender. The dish is also healthy and nutritious, rich in vitamins and plant compounds, and keeps well for the next day — making it ideal for meal prep.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (conventional/top and bottom heat).
- Step 2
Trim the leaves from the cauliflower and cut off the bottom of the stem. Carefully use a knife to cut around the base of the stem. Break the cauliflower into florets by hand, using a knife if needed.
- Step 3
Cut larger florets into smaller pieces, then thoroughly wash the cauliflower florets in a colander and let them drain. Spread them out on a baking sheet.
- Step 4
Toss the cauliflower florets with the oil and spices, mixing well with your hands. Arrange the florets in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, until the florets are tender with a slight bite and nicely crispy on the edges.
- Step 5
Serve the cauliflower with your choice of sides and dipping sauce.
