1. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it's ready for roasting.
2. Oil and Season Cauliflower
In a large mixing bowl, place the cauliflower. Drizzle with enough extra virgin olive oil to lightly coat the pieces, likely a few tablespoons. Season with salt and black pepper generously, then toss gently to ensure each piece is evenly coated with oil and seasoning.
3. Arrange Cauliflower for Roasting
Lay the cauliflower pieces out on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they don't overlap for even roasting. If there's any leftover olive oil in the bowl, drizzle it over the cauliflower.
4. Roast Cauliflower
Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. At the halfway mark, turn the pieces to ensure even caramelization and tenderness.
5. Serve Roasted Cauliflower
Serve the roasted cauliflower warm or at room temperature as a delightful side dish. For an added gourmet touch, consider a light sprinkle of high-quality aged vinegar just before serving.
Ground cumin, turmeric, coriander, garam masala, and fresh cilantro mixed with the oil before tossing with the cauliflower and garnished with cilantro.
Za'atar spice blend, tahini, lemon juice, and pomegranate seeds seasoned before roasting, drizzled with tahini and lemon, garnished with pomegranate seeds.
Toss the florets with a blend of cumin, coriander, and a pinch of cinnamon before roasting. Finish with a drizzle of tahini and a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds for sweetness and crunch.
Toss cauliflower with a mix of soy sauce, sesame oil, and a touch of honey. Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a spoonful of sambal oelek for heat. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions after roasting.
Lemon zest, minced garlic, capers, chopped olives, and crumbled feta cheese added halfway through roasting and topped once done.
