Cauliflower is pretty bland by itself and gets overlooked against its competitors that are more tasty and colorful, but this recipe is full of flavor and gives it a nice red hue. This is the perfect side dish for chicken or fish. Sometimes I make this for a snack because it’s quick and little mess. I get stuck in a habit of only making broccoli and carrots, so this recipe is nice to mix it up.
Red Roasted Cauliflower Recipe
Spices and EVOO (minus lemon juice) |
Ingredients:
1 Head of Cauliflower, cut (or 1 bag, frozen)
2 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil (if using a sprayer be
generous)
2 Tsp. Lemon Juice
1 Tbsp. Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat over to 400F. Cut cauliflower into florets and place
in bowl. Drizzle EVOO and lemon juice over cauliflower and toss (skip this step
if you have an EVOO sprayer). Place cauliflower evenly on a foil covered baking
sheet (try not to over crowd the pan, so they have room to breathe). If using a
sprayer, spray cauliflower generously and add lemon juice to cauliflower on the
pan. Sprinkle Paprika over cauliflower.
Make sure all florets are covered, add more if needed. Add salt and pepper to
taste. Place in oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Take pan out of the oven and
toss the cauliflower. Put back in the oven for another 10-12 minutes. Tossing
ensures they are cooked evenly on both sides.
Add a generous amount of Paprika (looks a little skimpy from the photo). |
Delicious way to liven up cauliflower! I especially enjoyed the hint of lemon juice flavor!
