Garlic Roasted Cauliflower Recipe

Looking for a side dish that’s healthy, delicious, and incredibly easy? This garlic roasted cauliflower recipe checks all the boxes. With just a handful of ingredients and minimal prep, you’ll have golden, crispy cauliflower florets bursting with flavor. It’s a perfect addition to any meal or even a light snack on its own.


🧄 Ingredients

  • 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets

  • 3 tbsp olive oil

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • ½ tsp sea salt

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes, fresh parsley for garnish, lemon wedges


🔥 Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven
    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prep Cauliflower
    Wash and thoroughly dry cauliflower florets. Moisture prevents crispiness, so drying is key.
  3. Mix with Garlic & Oil
    In a large bowl, toss cauliflower with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange and Roast
    Spread florets in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden and crispy on the edges.
  5. Serve
    Remove from oven and (if desired) sprinkle with fresh parsley, a squeeze of lemon juice, or red pepper flakes for a little heat.

✅ Tips for Crispy Perfection

  • Don’t overcrowd the pan — space = crisp

  • Use fresh garlic for the most robust flavor

  • Roast on the top oven rack for extra browning

  • Leftovers? Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crunch


Conclusion
This garlic roasted cauliflower is everything a side dish should be: easy, flavorful, and healthy. Serve it with roasted meats, toss it into grain bowls, or enjoy it solo — it’s endlessly versatile and always satisfying.
