Roasted Cauliflower with Coconut-Turmeric Relish image

The key to developing crispy browned surfaces on roasted cauliflower is baking in a superhot oven on the lowest rack so the baking sheet is close to the heat radiating off the bottom of the oven.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into 1"-2" florets
5 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
Coconut-Turmeric Relish (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Place oven rack in lowest position and preheat to 450°F. Toss cauliflower and oil on a large rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Arrange cauliflower so a flat side is facing down and roast until dark brown and crisp on bottom, 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and turn pieces over. Roast until second side is dark brown and crisp, 10-15 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • Transfer warm cauliflower to a platter. If using, spoon relish over top and season with more salt and pepper.
