Begin by greasing a 9x13 casserole dish. Next, add olive oil, garlic, and cauliflower to a large resealable bag and shake to thoroughly coat the florets. Pour into the prepared dish, season to taste, and roast at 450 degrees F for 25 minutes.

What to Serve with Easy Roasted Cauliflower

Deliciously savory roasted cauliflower makes a great partner to a range of main dishes. Try pairing it with grilled sea bass, beer-braised pork chops, or Indian chicken curry.

How to Store Roasted Cauliflower

Roasted cauliflower stored in a shallow, airtight container or heavy-duty aluminum foil will last up to three days in the refrigerator.

How to Freeze Roasted Cauliflower

Place leftover cauliflower in a freezer bag or lidded dish to properly freeze. Thaw gently in the microwave before reheating on the stovetop or in the oven.

Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise

"We loved this!" raves Crystal. "We also threw in a few pieces of eggplant with it and it was fantastic!"

"I've made this at least six times," shares SamArt. "It's important to stir the cauliflower halfway through the baking process — it'll reduce burned (overly caramelized) spots. I used powdered garlic over fresh garlic because it mixes more evenly in the olive oil. A GREAT flavorful dish!"

"This is how I will be making cauliflower from now on," says Nancy F. "Special enough for a side dish for company."
