Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower, cored and cut into florets
- 2 T extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp. red pepper flakes, or a little more if you want it extra spicy
- Pinch of salt
- Fresh ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Heat your oven to 400F/200C. Add the cut-up cauliflower to a mixing bowl with the olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper, then toss until the pieces are evenly slicked with oil and the spice is spread around. Spread the cauliflower in one layer on a heavy baking sheet, or in a baking dish. Roast it until it is as tender as you like and the edges begin turning golden brown, about 25-30 minutes. Bring it to the table hot.
