Ingredients:
* 1 medium head (about 3lbs) Cauliflower, cut into florets (see Tips)
* 3-4 Cloves Garlic, sliced and minced (or as per taste)
* 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil/ Olive oil/Grapeseed Oil
* Lemon Juice to taste
* Salt and Pepper to taste
* Few sprigs of Cilantro to garnish
Tips:
* Cauliflower:
I used a mix of regular, Orange, Purple and Green Cauliflower. The photos don't do it justice but the other colors deepen with the roasting and it looks fantastic on the dinner table, fresh from the oven.
* Other Seasoning Ideas:
Parmesan, Nutritional Yeast, Red Chilli Flakes, Paprika, Turmeric, Curry powder, Garam Masala, Garlic Powder, Cumin Powder, Cumin-Coriander Powder, Herbs like thyme, oregano, cilantro etc
Method:
* Preheat Oven 400F. While that's happening, toss the cauliflower florets along with Garlic.
* Add Lemon juice to taste. I used 2 full Meyer lemons, cos I love the sweet/tangy taste of this variety of lemons.
* Next add in the oil. I used Extra Virgin Olive oil for this post but you can use regular Olive oil too. Many online recipes ask for 2 tbsp but I find that we like it even with 1 tbsp (and may be even a little less).
* Have kept the seasoning basic for this post. But I have tried the other seasoning and love all of them, esp. the Indian flavors (no surprises there!). Give it a good mix with your hand
* Roast for about 20-25 minutes or until the tops are brown (and looked slightly charred). Do a fork test to check for the tenderness of the cauliflower. If it pierces easily, its done.
* Except for the cheese, you can toss the seasoning before roasting and then once its done, add the cheese. I used fresh cilantro to garnish just before serving.
