Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (if you are using table salt, reduce the amount by half)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut the head of the cauliflower in half using a sharp knife. Working with one half at a time, make two angled cuts into the cauliflower (the cuts will meet each other), to remove the stem and all the greens.
  • Cut the florets into bite-sized pieces. Repeat with the other half. Put all the pieces in a large bowl.
  • Coat the cauliflower with olive oil. Then sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss to combine. Pour onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until the cauliflower is golden. Taste and adjust seasonings to your personal taste. (Read here about making cauliflower in the air fryer.)
