How to make Roasty, Toasty Cauliflower
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Wash the head of cauliflower, and remove all the green leaves and the center stem. Break up the cauliflower into bite-sized chunks by hand, and spread the pieces evenly on a cookie sheet.
- Sprinkle the olive halves over the cauliflower. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs to taste. Drizzle with olive oil, if you like.
- Pop in the oven for 35 minutes, or until the cauliflower is browning and wilted and the olives start to shrivel.
Tips: This dish makes a truly remarkable addition to any standard cold relish tray. Or, for your next party, create a Mediterranean platter including this dish, canned artichokes, roasted red peppers, hummus, and feta cubes! You can also serve piping hot as a side for burgers at a BBQ, or toss over warm pasta with a splash of Italian dressing for a quick (but seemingly fancy) dinner. Serve hot or cold!
