Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 head purple cauliflower, cut into florets

Seasonings and Garnishes

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Coarse black pepper, to taste
  • Chopped Italian parsley, for garnish
  • Shredded Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Prepare Cauliflower: Toss the purple cauliflower florets in 2 tablespoons of olive oil ensuring every piece is fully coated for even roasting and crispness.
  3. Season: Spread the coated cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan to allow air circulation. Generously season with kosher salt and coarse black pepper according to taste.
  4. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the cauliflower for 15-20 minutes. Roast until the edges and flat surfaces develop a golden brown, crispy texture. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of your florets.
  5. Serve: Remove the cauliflower from the oven, then serve it warm. Garnish with chopped Italian parsley and sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese on top for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • For best results, make sure cauliflower florets are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; roasting in a single layer ensures crispy edges.
  • Adjust salt and pepper levels according to your preference.
  • Use fresh Parmesan cheese for optimal flavor.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to maintain crispness.
