Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit while you get everything ready.
Wash your cauliflower and dry it thoroughly to avoid mushiness.
Cut the cauliflower into small and evenly sized florets.
Coat the bottom of a baking sheet with a tablespoon of olive oil.
Lay the florets spaced apart on the baking sheet.
Roast for 30 minutes, flipping each floret halfway through.
Sprinkle with salt after removing from the oven and serve.
Notes
For a faster preparation, dry the cauliflower the night before or use pre-cut florets. Adjust seasoning to taste.
