Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large head cauliflower, cored and cut into florets
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons coarse salt, plus more as needed
1/2 cup finely sliced, stemmed, and seeded hot cherry peppers
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup crushed Garlic Croutons or store-bought croutons

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
  • Place cauliflower florets in a small roasting pan. Add olive oil and salt and toss until cauliflower is well coated.
  • Transfer baking dish to oven and roast until edges begin to brown, about 15 minutes. Toss cauliflower and continue to roast, tossing every 5 minutes, until tender but firm and well browned all over, about 10 minutes.
