Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

1 Head Cauliflower4 Tablespoons Olive Oil -- or less

1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Cut out and discard cauliflower core and thick stems. Trim remaining cauliflower into florets the size of golf balls. In a large bowl, add cauliflower, olive oil, and salt.

Toss thoroughly.

Spread cauliflower on a baking sheet (lined with parchment paper, if available, for easy cleanup). Roast for 1 hour, or until much of each floret has become golden brown. (That's the carmelization process converting the dormant natural sugars into sweetness. The

browner the florets, the sweeter they will taste.) Turn 3 or 4 times during roasting.

serve immediately.
