Roasted Cauliflower - Take it up a notch!

Cauliflower - not the most exciting vegetable.  Often gets overlook.  It's most recent claim to fame has probably been the non-carb version of mashed potatoes using Mashed Cauliflower. But Roasted Cauliflower really made it a show stopping side for me!  And again, so easy!
Roasting vegetables is ideal for my cooking.  Prep them, place veggies on a pan into a hot oven and let them roast for 30-45 minutes.  And the flavor roasting brings out in a vegetable - just takes it to a whole new level!
Roasting Cauliflower is super easy but will give you tons of flavor!

Roasted Cauliflower

1 head of cauliflower (I used 1/2 for our side dish)
2-3 tablespoons of olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons Italian herbs

Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Cut cauliflower into bite size chunks.  Toss with olive oil, garlic and herbs.

Place on baking dish and roast in oven for 30-35 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking.
Enjoy!

    Do you turn the pan or toss the cauliflower around?

    I flipped the cauliflower about halfway through - essentially to brown the other side. Hope you enjoy!

    I have this in the oven right now! Can't wait to give it a try. Doesn't really "go" with my meal for the night but I had cauliflower on hand and decided to go for it!
