We love roasted cauliflower for its nutty flavor and its versatility. While little needs to be added to enhance the flavor, many herb and spice combinations will pair well with this side dish without adding lots of calories. Feel free to leave out the capers if your crew are not fans.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER



Roasted Cauliflower image

How to make perfect Roasted Cauliflower that's crispy outside, tender inside and not soggy! This simple recipe is a go-to healthy side dish.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Side Dish

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large head cauliflower
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika (regular or smoked)
3/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Depending upon the size of your pan, coat 1 or 2 rimmed baking sheets with nonstick spray. You need enough pan surface area to hold all of the florets in a single layer without touching. Position a rack in the center of the oven (if using 1 baking sheet) or the upper and lower thirds (if using 2 baking sheets) and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Cut off the stem end of the cauliflower head so that you have a flat base.
  • Stand it up on the base then cut it into four even wedges, slicing from the top of the head down through the stem. Trim away the inner core areas, leaving most of the wedge intact.
  • Next, starting at one of the flat sides, cut the wedge into ½ inch "steaks" so that you have maximum flat surface area. Some of the florets will fall away. With the knife or your fingers, break up any remaining florets that are stuck together. If any florets are wider than 1 1/2 inches, slice them in half again (the goal is to maximize flat surface area, for the best caramelization).
  • Transfer the florets to a baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper and the paprika and/or Italian seasoning (if using). Toss to evenly coat. Spread the florets into a single layer, dividing them evenly between the two pans if needed. For max caramelization, flip the florets so that the widest, flattest sides are touching the surface of the pan.
  • Roast the cauliflower until it is dark and crispy at the ends and caramelized in the center, about 22 to 30 minutes, depending upon your oven's power and how closely the florets are spaced on the pan. Halfway through the baking time, toss the florets and spread them back into a single layer, rotate the baking sheet(s) 180 degrees F, and (if using 2 pans) switch their positions on the upper and lower racks. Sprinkle with parmesan (if using) and additional salt to taste. Inhale immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a large baking sheet to ensure that the cauliflower has enough space to roast evenly.
  • Cut the cauliflower into uniform florets so that they cook evenly.
  • Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil and Italian seasoning before roasting. This will help them to brown and crisp.
  • Roast the cauliflower at a high temperature, such as 450°F, for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
  • Serve the roasted cauliflower immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish.

Conclusion:

Baked cauliflower with Italian seasoning is a healthy and delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its simple ingredients and bold flavors, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give this recipe a try!
