The Best Way to Roast Cauliflower Without Messing It Up

The Best Way to Roast Cauliflower Without Messing It Up

You don’t have to toil over potatoes gratin or carrot soufflé to put a standout vegetable dish on the table. With olive oil, salt and pepper, and a trusty roasting technique, you can give veggies all the love they need. Take this easy roasted cauliflower, for example: a head of cauliflower is sliced into florets, oiled and seasoned, and quick-roasted at a fiery 500° — which browns the florets before they have a chance to get mushy. In just 20 minutes, you’ll have a side dish you’ll proudly serve without breaking a sweat (or if you do, it’s only because your kitchen may become really hot).
