ROAST CAULIFLOWER
Serves 4 to 6
One trick is to preheat the roasting pan in the oven so it is hot before the cauliflower is spread out on it. This has the same effect as preheating a skillet. The hot surface will seal in the flavor immediately and get the roasting process going quickly.
• 1 head cauliflower
• 2 tbsp. olive oil, or more as needed
• 1 tsp. coarse salt, or as needed
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut or break the cauliflower into florets, about 1-inch pieces. Turn into a large bowl and toss with enough olive oil to generously coat. Sprinkle with the salt. Remove the hot baking sheet and spread the cauliflower out on it, making sure the florets do not touch. Roast, shaking the pan once or twice, or flipping with a spatula, until nicely browned on all sides, about 10 to 15 minutes.
