Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large cauliflower head
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove the outer leaves of the cauliflower and cut it into bite-sized florets.
Place the cauliflower florets into a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the florets with olive oil, and add the lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the florets are evenly coated.
Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and slightly golden on the edges.
While the cauliflower is roasting, finely chop the fresh dill.
Once the cauliflower is roasted, transfer it to a serving platter and sprinkle the chopped dill over the top.
Serve warm as a side dish, and enjoy the burst of lemony flavor with fresh dill.
