Roasted Cauliflower - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 head cauliflower
1/4 cup olive oil (I actually use less)
salt
fresh ground black pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F
Trim and wash the whole head of cauliflower then slice it about 1/4 inch thick. There will be lots of small pieces and several large lacy slices. Place the cauliflower into a large bowl and drizzle on the olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, toss to coat.
Spread the cauliflower evenly ontoa sheet pan and put in the oven.
After about 10 minutes, stir them around to get the pieces on the edge of the pan moved towards the middle to encourage even browning, stir again every 5-10 minutes.
This should take a total of 20 - 30 minutes to get nice browned crispy bits.
VARIATION:
Add 1 cup of dried, cooked chickpeas, and 1 medium red onion, cut into thick half rings before tossing with the oil and salt. This makes a delicious topping for a salad or for cooked pasta.
