Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425&# 194;°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the cauliflower florets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
  3. Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil evenly over the cauliflower florets.
  4. Toss the florets gently with your hands or a spatula to coat them thoroughly in the oil.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and the cauliflower is tender when pierced with a fork.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes before serving.
