Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 head cauliflower or 1 head equal amount of pre-cut commercially prepped cauliflower
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt, to taste

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Trim the head of cauliflower, discarding the core and thick stems; cut florets into pieces about the size of ping-pong balls.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil and salt, whisk, then add the cauliflower pieces and toss thoroughly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup (you can skip that, if you don't have any) then spread the cauliflower pieces on the sheet and roast for 1 hour, turning 3 or 4 times, until most of each piece has turned golden brown.
(The browner the cauliflower pieces turn, the more caramelization occurs and the sweeter they'll taste).
Serve immediately and enjoy!
