Helpful Hints:

• Try to keep the cauliflower florets to roughly the same size so that they cook at the same rate.

• Once you master this basic recipe for roasted cauliflower, trying experimenting with flavours.  Have fun with spices by adding curry powder, paprika, Montréal steak spice, or fresh herbs – even Parmesan cheese and nuts taste awesome.

• If you’re making this recipe with an extra large head of cauliflower, you may need to add a bit more oil.

• You don’t need to use parchment paper for this recipe, just make sure you toss the cauliflower well with oil so that it doesn’t stick to the baking sheet.
