Ingredients

  • Ingredients:
  • 1 large head of cauliflower, trimmed and cut into small florets (smaller florets will cook faster and develop deeper flavours)
  • 1 whole head of garlic
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4c minced fresh parsley, optional

Directions

  1. Directions:

  2. Preheat oven to 450F.

  3. While the oven is preheating, separate the garlic cloves. Give each clove a good smash with the end of your knife. This will help to release the oils and make it easier to peel the garlic. Cut large cloves into two lengthwise.

  4. On a large baking sheet, toss together cauliflower, garlic, olive oil, salt and fresh ground pepper. Make sure the florets are well coated with oil and spread the mixture on single layer.

  5. Roast 20 – 25 minutes, stirring once or twice in between. The cauliflower is ready when they become tender and golden brown.

  6. Remove baking sheet from oven, add in lemon juice, and another good pinch of salt and pepper. Stir the mixture well once again and transfer the cauliflower into a large bowl. Garnish with parsley, if using, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
