Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 8 pieces Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower head, then cut it into evenly sized florets about 1.5 inches in size.
Peel the garlic cloves but leave them whole.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cauliflower florets and garlic cloves. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Toss well to ensure everything is coated evenly.
Spread the cauliflower and garlic evenly on the prepared baking sheet, making sure the pieces are in a single layer for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the cauliflower halfway through, until the florets are golden brown and tender, and the garlic is softened.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy it as a light and healthy meal.
