Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast for vegan option)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Cauliflower: Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into evenly sized florets.
- Season It Right: In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Roast Away: Spread the seasoned cauliflower onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the edges. Toss halfway through cooking for even roasting.
