Roasted Cauliflower

Ingredients:

1 large head cauliflower (about 3 pounds)
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil*
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon coarsely-ground black pepper

* I also like to substitute sesame seed oil for the olive oil. The sesame oil is fantastic in this dish.


Preparation:

Preheat oven to 400°F. Rinse cauliflower and cut into quarters. Cut off and discard leaves and cores. Cut quarters into 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick slices or wedges.

In a large bowl or re-sealable plastic bag, mix together cauliflower slices, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer in a non-stick baking dish, or aluminum foil lined rimmed baking sheet.

Bake prepared cauliflower approximately 20 to 25 minutes, turning every 10 minutes, or until cauliflower is browned or caramelized on edges and tender. Remove from oven and serve warm or at room temperature.

Note: The Sesame oil is delicious with this...
