Based on the recipe by Bob Blumer from the "Surreal Gourmet Bites" cookbook. This simple carmelization method transforms this much maligned veggie into a knock-your-socks off side dish or sweet snack that you won't be able to get enough of!

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. 2
    Trim the head of cauliflower, discarding the core and thick stems; cut florets into pieces about the size of ping-pong balls.
  3. 3
    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil and salt, whisk, then add the cauliflower pieces and toss thoroughly.
  4. 4
    Line a baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup (you can skip that, if you don't have any) then spread the cauliflower pieces on the sheet and roast for 1 hour, turning 3 or 4 times, until most of each piece has turned golden brown.
  5. 5
    (The browner the cauliflower pieces turn, the more caramelization occurs and the sweeter they'll taste).
  6. 6
    Serve immediately and enjoy!
  7. 7

Simple, but a great recipe! I read someone's review, saying it is too long to roast for one hour, so I reduced the time greatly. But it still got burnt. I might try the reduce the temperature next time. Even my sons, who don't care for cauliflower, liked it. Thank you!

    This was very unique! We liked it but it was a little greasy, so next time I'll use a little less oil. It's a great way to get more veggies on the table! Thanks for sharing!

    I made this again, but this time, tossed in garlic powder and curry powder. I used minced garlic last time, and the garlic tends to burn and not stick onto the cauliflower. I loved it!! I wonder if using broccoli would be good...?? Probably!!!
