Roasted Cauliflower

I've read about roasting cauliflower florets in the oven, but I admit I was skeptical.  I've always steamed my cauliflower and served it with cheese sauce - right?

Well, I'm a convert!  Roasting the cauliflower brings out a natural sweetness to this rather bland vegetable.  So next time you pick up a lovely, white head of cauliflower, try roasting it, rather than boiling or steaming it.  You won't be disappointed.


I think the cauliflower should be a
little more evenly browned than my looks....


Directions:

Set oven to 425 degrees.

Break cauliflower into florets and place in a bowl.  Add a generous amount of olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and ground pepper.

Spread on a baking sheet.  Bake in the oven for approximately 30 minutes or until caramelized, shaking the pan every 10 minutes, so the cauliflower browns evenly.
