Who likes easy, no-fuss recipes that taste delicious? *raises hand* Cool, me too.

So I bring to you a dead-easy roasted cauliflower recipe that can be eaten as a snack, as a side, or for that late-night, before bed, side-eye-from-your-partner meal.

Live your best life. Eat it whenever.

Cauliflower has the reputation of being bland, boring, and sometimes soggy… if you boil them to oblivion. But when done right, you can yield perfectly tender cauliflower florets with undertones of sweetness and nuttiness when blasted by heat. Hence, we’re throwin’ them into the oven.

More Dinner Side Dishes:

Also, when baking these bad boys up, don’t be afraid of the scorched, golden bits on the florets during its cook. That’s what we call “flavor.”

Roasted Cauliflower Recipe Notes:

Leave the cauliflower florets frozen. They do not need to be defrosted prior to cooking.
You may use your favorite seasonings. I kept it simple and added salt and garlic powder.
Using your typical white cauliflower works too.

Other Seasonings & Spices To Use:

Cumin
Garam masala
Onion powder
Smoked paprika
Nutritional yeast
Cayenne pepper
Chili powder
Black pepper
Turmeric
