Roasted Cauliflower with Garlic

Ingredients

• 1 medium-large head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 3/4 – 1 cup peeled whole garlic cloves or about 30-50 garlic cloves
• 3 T good quality olive oil
• salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 425F/220C. Coat a large baking sheet with non-stick spray, or grab 2 baking sheets if your cauliflower is on the very large side.
2. Break the cauliflower into bite-sized pieces, then peel the garlic cloves if they need it.
3. In a bowl, combine the cauliflower and garlic with the olive oil, tossing until every piece is well coated.
4. Arrange the cauliflower and garlic across the large baking sheet in a single layer. If things are packed too tightly, divide them between 2 baking sheets so they can spread out properly.
5. Roast for 40-45 minutes, turning the vegetables a few times, until the garlic has begun to brown and the cauliflower is browned around the edges.
6. Add salt and fresh-ground black pepper, then serve hot.
