Ingredients

  • 1 large head of cauliflower about 6-8 cups, cut into 1-inch florets
  • 3 Tablespoons olive or avocado oil
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt plus more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper plus more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Fresh parsley chopped finely, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Wash and chop cauliflower into 1-inch florets. Try to make all the florets about the same size so that they cook evenly.
  • Add cauliflower to a bowl and toss with oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder.

  • Put the cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway. Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end if you want to brown/crisp the cauliflower. Be sure to watch the cauliflower closely near the end so it doesn't overcook or burn.
