Roasted Cauliflower

Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower – cored and cut into 1.5-inch florets
• 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper – freshly ground
• 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 450°F with a rack in the upper-middle position; place a rimmed baking sheet on the rack to preheat for 5 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with the olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
3. Carefully spread the seasoned cauliflower on the hot baking sheet, arranging most pieces cut-side down with space between.
4. Roast until the undersides are deeply browned and the florets are tender when pierced with a knife, 25–35 minutes, flipping once halfway for even browning.
5. Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot.
