Simple Roasted Cauliflower

Vegetables that add good 'bulk' to your meal are a great way of adding volume to your meal without the calories. My favourite is cauliflower - whether in a soup, mashed or roasted - its a staple in my house. Plus, it's inexpensive and goes a long way (not to mention it will last a long time in your fridge!)

Lately, my favourite way to make cauliflower is roasted - easy and delicious!

Simple Roasted Cauliflower

makes 4 generous servings

Ingredients:
1 medium sized cauliflower
2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
sea salt (coarse)






Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2) Cut cauliflower into small florets - the smaller you cut them the faster they will brown and cook!
3) Toss in a large bowl with oil and then sprinkle generously with sea salt (add more than you think you'll need, because a lot of it will wind up on the bottom of the bowl and not on your cauliflower!)
4) Lay in one layer across a roasting pan (so the heat can get at it from the top and through the open grill at the bottom). If you instead choose to use a cookie sheet, line it with parchment paper and then halfway through cooking, flip the cauliflower.
5) Put in oven on middle rack and bake for approximately 45-60 minutes - the tips of the cauliflower should be nicely browned.

Feel free to use it all at once - or save it for a great go-to snack midday. The extra virgin olive oil in it will help keep you satisfied longer!
