Roasted Cauliflower

 

Ingredients

1 head garlic, cloves separated but not peeled

1 large head cauliflower, trimmed and cut into large florets

4 ½ tablespoons olive oil

2 ½ teaspoons Kosher salt 

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

¼ cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

3 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted

Zest of one lemon

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Preparation

  1. Heat oven to 450° F. 
  2. Bring a small pot of water to a boil and add garlic cloves. Boil for 15 seconds; drain and peel. Cut the largest cloves in half lengthwise.
  3. On a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper, toss cauliflower with garlic, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt, and black pepper.  Spread evenly into a single layer and roast, stirring twice, until cauliflower is tender and brown and garlic is lightly browned, 35 to 40 minutes.
  4. Transfer cauliflower to a large bowl with garlic and pan juices.  Add remaining 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil, parsley, pine nuts, lemon zest and lemon juice.  Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt, toss well and serve hot or warm.
