Garlic Roasted Cauliflower

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)

Dry Your Florets Thoroughly 💧
Pat cauliflower completely dry with paper towels after washing to ensure crispy edges and proper browning instead of steaming.
Slice Garlic Thin for Even Distribution 🔪
Thinly slice garlic cloves rather than mincing to prevent burning and create golden, flavorful crispy bits throughout the roasted cauliflower.
Oil and Season Before Roasting 🫒
Toss florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a cold sheet pan, then transfer to a preheated 425°F oven for maximum caramelization and flavor development.
Space Florets for Crispiness 📏
Arrange cauliflower in a single layer with adequate spacing to allow hot air circulation and achieve crispy, caramelized exteriors rather than steamed results.
Finish with Fresh Garlic Oil ✨
Drizzle roasted cauliflower with a finishing oil infused with raw minced garlic and a pinch of fleur de sel immediately after removing from the oven for enhanced depth and freshness.
