I just love roasted cauliflower! It changes it from a ho-hum vegetable into a awesomely delicious one! Adapted this recipe from Rebecca Franklin from Your Guide to French Food. My sister says it tastes even better with a little lemon juice squeezed over when done.

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs cauliflower florets, chopped into small bits (or keep them larger if you prefer)
1 cup chopped sweet onion
3 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp. dried)
1/2 teaspoon salt
lemon juice (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400°F.
  • Mix cauliflower, onions, and garlic together in a large roasting pan.
  • Drizzle the vegetables with the oil, season them with the pepper and thyme, and toss gently to coat.
  • Roast the vegetables uncovered for 20-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown. If you like, squeeze a little lemon juice over when serving. The smaller you chop the cauliflower, the less time it takes to bake. I love the crunchy brown bits, that's why I chop it all up so small! Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right vegetables: Select firm, colorful carrots and cauliflower florets. Baby carrots and bite-sized cauliflower florets work well for this recipe.
  • Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor. Aim for a temperature of 425°F (220°C) or higher.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh thyme is the perfect herb for this recipe, but you can also use rosemary, sage, or oregano. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried thyme.
  • Don't overcrowd the roasting pan: The vegetables should be in a single layer so that they can roast evenly. If you need to use two pans, that's fine.
  • Roast the vegetables until they are tender: The carrots should be slightly caramelized and the cauliflower should be tender-crisp. This will take about 25-30 minutes.
  • Serve the vegetables immediately: Roasted carrots and cauliflower are best served hot out of the oven. You can drizzle them with olive oil, sprinkle them with salt and pepper, or add a squeeze of lemon juice.

Conclusion:

Roasted carrots and cauliflower is a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet carrots and savory cauliflower is a winner, and the fresh herbs add a touch of sophistication. This dish is also healthy and easy to make, making it a great choice for busy weeknights. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give roasted carrots and cauliflower a try. You won't be disappointed!
