I got tired of steaming or boiling cauliflower, so I decided to make this vegan oven roasted garlic cauliflower, flavored with garlic and lemon, and roasted until crispy. SOO GOOD!
Roasted Garlic Cauliflower Recipe
This cauliflower recipe is incredibly easy to make and will be ready in just 45 minutes. So far, this is my favorite way to add cauliflower to my dinner.
The recipe is sooo delicious, and quick; Just drizzle the cauliflower with some salt, pepper and olive oil, then roast it in the oven at a high temperature, and you will have the best side dish ever.
I like to serve this dish with Savoury Mince, Chicken Fajita Nachos, Paprika Chicken Pasta or Spicy Garlic Shrimp.
You'll Need
- Cauliflower head: Cut int bite-sized pieces or small cauliflower florets.
- Salt & Ground black pepper: To taste.
- Chili flakes: I love to add a spice kick; you can skip it if you want.
- Garlic: Use fresh garlic for the best flavor.
- Olive oil: Use extra virgin olive oil for better taste.
- Lemon
- Fresh basil leaves

How To Make The Recipe
One: Preheat the oven to 210C/ 410F, line a sheet pan with parchment paper and use a sharp knife to cut the whole head of cauliflower into medium-sized florets, then wash them and drain well (photo 1).
Tip: Either use a kitchen towel or salad spinner to dry the cauliflower after washing it.
Two: In a large bowl, mix all the olive oil, salt, black pepper, chilli flakes, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves and the fresh basil leaves (photo 2).
Three: Toss the cauliflower in the bowl, mix well all the ingredients using your hands (photo 3 & 4).
Four: Place cauliflower florets in a single layer in the baking tray and then bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes (photo 5).
Five: Get the cauliflower out of the oven and sprinkle with some dried basil and serve!
Tip: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
