Servings 4 People
Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower chopped into florets
- 2 tablespoons garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon black pepper powder
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper powder, Italian seasoning, and salt.
- Add the cauliflower florets and toss well until evenly coated.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and spread the cauliflower in a single layer.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove, toss again, then switch to broil and move the tray to the upper rack. Broil for another 10 minutes until golden.
Notes
Don't overcrowd the tray — florets need space to crisp rather than steam.
The bake-then-broil combination is the key to crispy edges; skipping the broil step will give you softer, less caramelized results.
Works equally well with broccoli using the same method and marinade.
