Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons dried culinary lavender
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
- 4 whole garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Cut the cauliflower into medium-sized florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, dried lavender, finely chopped fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Smash the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife but leave the skins on. Add the garlic cloves to the mixing bowl with the cauliflower.
Pour the olive oil mixture over the cauliflower and garlic, then toss everything well to ensure even coating.
Spread the cauliflower and garlic cloves evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, turning the cauliflower halfway through, until it is golden brown and tender.
Remove from the oven and discard the garlic skins. Drizzle the roasted cauliflower with lemon juice for a bright finishing touch.
Serve warm as a side dish or as a topping for salads and grain bowls.
