Our Roasted Garlic Cauliflower is a delightful addition to any family gathering, especially for festive occasions like Thanksgiving. This recipe transforms simple cauliflower florets into a golden, crispy, flavorful dish that’s guaranteed to bring everyone to the table. With its perfect blend of garlic, fresh herbs, and that irresistible roasted crunch, this dish embodies warmth, creativity, and togetherness.

Ingredients

• 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika (optional for color)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• Lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets, minced garlic, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss until the cauliflower is evenly coated.

• Spread the cauliflower out in a single layer on the prepared baking tray.

• Roast in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.

• Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side if desired.

Helpful Tips

• If your cauliflower is damp, make sure to pat it dry before tossing with the oil and seasonings to ensure optimal roasting.
• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
• This recipe can easily be doubled if you’re expecting a larger crowd.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) to maintain crispiness.

This Roasted Garlic Cauliflower pairs beautifully with a variety of mains like roasted chicken, grilled fish, or as part of a vegetarian feast.
