View the previous recipe for this meal.

During the Holidays all kinds of roasts appear on the table. Rarely are any of them vegan. Until now! You can even slice the whole cauliflower and it will fall apart into melty goodness.

Baking time will vary depending on the size of your cauliflower head. Plan to add more of the other ingredients if your cauliflower is larger than two pounds.

Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower, consider about 1/2 pound per serving
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced add more if desired
  • 1 teaspoon salt, more or less
  • ½ cup olive oil, more for a larger head

Serving Size: 4 People

Preparation Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425.

Select a baking dish just larger than your head of cauliflower. Trim the cauliflower, removing all of the outer green leaves and part of the stem. Leave enough of the base to keep the florets intact as a full head. Wash thoroughly and shake dry.

Place the cauliflower and garlic in the baking dish. Pour the olive oil on top, coating the whole head. Using a brush to rub it evenly all over is a good idea. Sprinkle with the salt.

Bake for 35 minutes. “Baste” the cauliflower periodically by drizzling or brushing it with the garlic-olive oil. Flip over the cauliflower and roast for 10-35 more minutes (depending on the size) until the cauliflower is tender.

Serve and slice at the table.
