Herb and Garlic Roasted Cauliflower

This herb and garlic roasted cauliflower is one of the easiest cauliflower recipes you will find. Once washed and all the leaves removed, check on the stem. It needs to be at least flush with the rest of the head so that it will lay comfortably in the baking dish. If this is not the case, you will need to trim the stem.

Once this is done, it is time to season the cauliflower.  In a bowl, whisk together the butter, oil, seasoning, garlic, salt and pepper. Then, you will need to coat the cauliflower head. You could spoon this mixture over the head or just pour it over and brush it around with your fingers. You want the seasoning to go into all the little cracks, so use your fingers or a pastry brush to do this.

This roasted garlic can be served with a side of green salad or on a bed of cooked quinoa, rice or chickpeas.

Notes:

• To help the cauliflower bake perfectly, place a pan with water on the bottom of the oven as this help the cauliflower to get softer a little quicker.
• Once the cauliflower is cooked, carefully move it to a plate for serving.
• You could change up the seasonings, but using a mixture of dried oregano, thyme, rosemary or basil instead of the Italian seasoning.
