Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Make sure the cauliflower florets are roughly 1 inch wide, and arrange them on the baking sheet.

Drizzle the cauliflower with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

Use a rubber spatula to toss the cauliflower until it is evenly coated in the oil.

Roast on middle rack of oven for 15 minutes. While the cauliflower roasts, finely mince the garlic cloves.

Open the oven and sprinkle the garlic over the cauliflower. Toss lightly with a rubber spatula to distribute the garlic. Continue roasting until garlic is fragrant and cauliflower is crisp-tender, 8-10 minutes.

Check to see that cauliflower is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Floret Size Consistency 🔪
Cut cauliflower into uniform, bite-sized florets to ensure even roasting and prevent burning of smaller pieces.
Maximize Garlic Flavor 🧄
Mince garlic finely and let it sit for 10 minutes before mixing with olive oil to activate its most potent flavor compounds.
Space Matters for Crispy Edges 🔥
Use a large baking sheet and spread florets in a single layer with space between them to achieve crispy, golden-brown edges instead of steaming.
Oil Coating Technique 💦
Toss cauliflower in oil using your hands to ensure each floret is evenly and lightly coated, which promotes better caramelization.
High-Heat Roasting Secret 🌡️
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to create the perfect environment for achieving a crispy exterior and tender interior.
