Ingredients:

Serving

1 large head cauliflower or equal amount of pre-cut commercially prepped cauliflower
4 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt , to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Trim the head of cauliflower, discarding the core and thick stems; cut florets into pieces about the size of ping-pong balls.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil and salt, whisk, then add the cauliflower pieces and toss thoroughly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup (you can skip that, if you don't have any) then spread the cauliflower pieces on the sheet and roast/bake in oven for 1 hour, turning 3 or 4 times, until most of each piece has turned golden brown.
(The browner the cauliflower pieces turn, the more caramelization occurs and the sweeter they'll taste).
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Where I got it: I originally heard about this recipe at Gail's Recipe Swap, where Josh posted it and many folks tried and loved it.
Note: if you already like cauliflower, you might consider doubling this recipe. One regular-size (what *is* regular, anyhow?) head of cauliflower barely makes enough for three people with this recipe, because the veggie does shrink down during the cooking. Make sure you get a *large* head or do two heads. Believe me, it'll all disappear off the dinner plates! :)
