Caramelized Cauliflower

From the collection
Serves 4

Introduction

This will change the way you think about this often-maligned member of the cabbage family.

Ingredients

1 head cauliflower
2 Tbsp. olive oil
~ Pinch sea salt

Steps

  1. Trim the leaves and core from the cauliflower, place it upright on a cutting board, and slice straight down into roughly ½-inch pieces. Break apart the slices from the center, but don’t worry if they’re not completely uniform. Toss with the olive oil and sea salt, transfer to a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the cauliflower in a single layer, and bake at 350 degrees, stirring occasionally, for about 40 minutes or until nicely browned.

I love cauliflower prepared this way! I also like to add lots of chopped garlic and a little bit of chili pepper flakes before baking.
