• 
  

Units: US | Metric

• 1 head cauliflower or 1 head equal amount of pre-cut commercially prepped cauliflower
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt, to taste

Directions:

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. 2
   Trim the head of cauliflower, discarding the core and thick stems; cut florets into pieces about the size of ping-pong balls.
3. 3
   In a large bowl, combine the olive oil and salt, whisk, then add the cauliflower pieces and toss thoroughly.
4. 4
   Line a baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup (you can skip that, if you don't have any) then spread the cauliflower pieces on the sheet and roast for 1 hour, turning 3 or 4 times, until most of each piece has turned golden brown.
5. 5
   (The browner the cauliflower pieces turn, the more caramelization occurs and the sweeter they'll taste).
6. 6
   Serve immediately and enjoy!
