Spicy Roasted Cauliflower


Preheat oven to 500 degrees

Ingredients:
6 cups Cauliflower Florets (1"- 1 1/2" in size)
2 tbs minced garlic
3 tbs olive oil
2 tbs lemon juice
1/2 tsp Sriracha
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1/2 tsp salt
black pepper to taste
3 tbs crumbled cotija cheese or grated parmesan

Coat the bottom of a large cast iron skillet or baking dish with a bit of the olive oil.

In a small bowl, whisk together the remainder of the olive oil, lemon juice, and Sriracha. Toss the cauliflower florets with this sauce and then arrange them in a single layer in the skillet. Sprinkle with the crushed red pepper, salt and black pepper.

Place the skillet on the top rack of the very hot oven. Bake for 15 -20 minutes, removing from the oven and turning cauliflower every 5 minutes or so to roast evenly.

When the cauliflower is nicely browned and cooked to your liking, remove from the oven and sprinkle with the cheese. Serve warm.


Notes: I did not have sriracha so I went with hot sauce and it was still delicious. Also, my new go to move is to line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Clean up is SO much easier, especially because I like to really roast my veggies.
