Roasted Purple Cauliflower

You can opt for white cauliflower or broccoli if purple is not available. Don’t be tempted to stir too soon! It needs the high heat, undisturbed to achieve the brown edges.

Equipment

  • sheet pan

Ingredients

  • Half of one large head cauliflower cut into florets about 4 cups
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, avocado oil, or vegetable oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°. Toss all ingredients together in a bowl or right on a rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan. Spread florets out in a single layer.
  • Bake at 425° for 12 minutes or until browned on underside of florets; stir or use tongs to turn over. Bake another 3 to 5 minutes or just until tender and lightly browned.

Notes

Don't be tempted to stir before the 12 minutes (or lightly brown on first side) is up!
How to Roast cauliflower and broccoli in an air fryer: Preheat the air fryer for 3 minutes to 400F degrees. Toss the cauliflower florets in oil, salt and pepper. Place half the cauliflower in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Set to Air Fry setting for 6 minutes. It will turn out crispy on the edges, tender on the inside, roasted veggie perfection!
