After reading pages of discussion about this dish over at eGullet, I knew I had to try it. This is wonderful! I'm not sure it tastes like french fries as much as they claim, but cauliflower cooked this way has a wonderful earthiness. Definately cut it as thinly as possible, because the browned bits are the best!

Categories     Cauliflower

Time 30m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 head cauliflower
1/4 cup olive oil (I actually use less)
salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F
  • Trim and wash the whole head of cauliflower then slice it about 1/4 inch thick. There will be lots of small pieces and several large lacy slices. Place the cauliflower into a large bowl and drizzle on the olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, toss to coat.
  • Spread the cauliflower evenly ontoa sheet pan and put in the oven.
  • After about 10 minutes, stir them around to get the pieces on the edge of the pan moved towards the middle to encourage even browning, stir again every 5-10 minutes.
  • This should take a total of 20 - 30 minutes to get nice browned crispy bits.
  • VARIATION:.
  • Add 1 cup of dried, cooked chickpeas, and 1 medium red onion, cut into thick half rings before tossing with the oil and salt. This makes a delicious topping for a salad or for cooked pasta.
