    How to Make Golden Thyme-Infused Roasted Cauliflower with Savory Drizzle

    1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    2. Prepare the Cauliflower

    Place the cauliflower florets in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle with thyme. Toss to coat evenly.

    3. Season the Cauliflower

    Season the cauliflower with salt and black pepper, distributing the seasoning evenly.

    4. Roast the Cauliflower

    Spread the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, until tender and golden brown on the edges.

    5. Serve the Cauliflower

    Transfer the roasted cauliflower to a warmed serving bowl. Drizzle with your favorite savory sauce while still warm. Serve warm or at room temperature.

    Variations

    Herb and Spice Swap

    Instead of thyme, use rosemary or a mix of Italian herbs. For a Middle Eastern twist, you could use za'atar or cumin. For an Asian flavor, try sesame oil with a touch of five-spice.

    Savory Drizzle Swap

    Instead of a savory oil-based drizzle, you could create a tahini-lemon sauce, a balsamic reduction, or a pesto to drizzle over your roasted vegetable.

    Protein Addition

    To make this a more substantial meal, you can add roasted chickpeas, tofu, or even chicken thighs to the pan during the roasting process. Adjust cooking times accordingly.

    Vegetable Swap

    Replace cauliflower with broccoli, Romanesco, or a mix of root vegetables like parsnips and carrots.

    Nut Addition

    For added crunch and nutrition, sprinkle chopped almonds, walnuts, or pine nuts over the cauliflower before serving.
