Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 piece Lemon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower head, then cut it into bite-sized florets.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with olive oil, fresh thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the florets are evenly coated.
Spread the cauliflower florets evenly onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast the cauliflower for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the florets are tender and golden brown.
Remove the roasted cauliflower from the oven and transfer it to a serving platter.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the roasted cauliflower for a bright, tangy finish.
Serve warm as a side dish or as a light, flavorful main course.
