Roasted Cauliflower

If you’re like us, you probably find cauliflower a bit boring. It never use to be a go-to side dish for us, particularly because Evan has been a longtime protestor of the colourless veg. That is, until we started roasting it…

The wonderful thing about roasting vegetables, is the rich flavour that it brings to the surface. Don’t get me wrong, I love a steamed vegetable, but there’s nothing like a little caramelized goodness to go with your favourite winter mains. If your relationship with cauliflower is bland and unexciting, give it a second chance with this quick and easy recipe!

Ingredients

• 1 Head of Cauliflower, Separated into florets
• 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 Tbsp Za’atar
• Salt

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
• In a medium bowl, toss the cauliflower in olive oil, to coat.
• Sprinkle the za’atar and a pinch of salt over the cauliflower, and toss again until evenly distributed.
• Spread the cauliflower on a sheet pan, in one even layer. Place in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Depending on the size of the florets, cook time can vary. The cauliflower is finished when it’s easily pearced with a fork, and slightly charred in some areas.
• Serve alongside your favourite main, like roast chicken, and enjoy!
