Whole Roasted Cauliflower

My Fitbloggin friends have been posting pictures of charred roasted whole head cauliflower for the past year.  It looked strange to me, but everyone seemed to cheer with excitement when they’d see the latest head of cauliflower.

When Alan posted a pic of his latest charred veggie, I knew that it was time.  With a snowy weekend and nothing but chick flicks on the agenda, I decided to make my very first roasted head of cauliflower, and it looked a little something like this.

This dish totally blew me away.  First of all, I don’t think there could be an easier dish to prepare… very little preparation, and just an hour in the oven.  The oven really does all the work…

And then, when it’s done, the flavor is AWESOME!  The edges of the cauliflower get crispy while the rest of it gets beautifully tender.  Uh-mazing!  Try this….

INGREDIENTS

3.  Place in a pan sprayed with cooking spray.  Brush cauliflower with 1 Tbsp. Olive oil (I used flavored), and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and seasonings (your choice.)  Note:  The second time I made this cauliflower, I left out the oil and just used cooking spray.  Just as good!

 

4.  Bake at 450 for one hour, until browned.  Allow to cool for 5 minutes.  Cut into quarters and serve!  So good!!!
