Roasted Cauliflower with Olives
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cauliflower, cut into 1-inch florets
  • 1 cup red onions, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch squares
  • 2 ounces sliced black olives
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to its highest temperature setting, which is 400 degrees Fahrenheit. To make this process easier and less messy, cover a large rectangular baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper to prevent food from sticking.
2
In a small, microwave-safe container, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, dried Italian herbs, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Microwave on its highest power level for 20 to 30 seconds, being extremely cautious not to overheat the mixture. Watch carefully and remove from the microwave when the oil starts to bubble.
3
In a large bowl, combine cauliflower florets, thinly sliced red onion, and diced red bell pepper. Pour the warm olive oil mixture over the vegetables and stir until they are evenly coated with the flavorful liquid. Spread out the vegetable mixture on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not overlapping.
4
Place the vegetable mixture in the preheated oven and roast until they reach your desired level of doneness, which is typically between 20 to 25 minutes. If you prefer a slightly charred appearance, broil the vegetables for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, keeping a close eye on them to avoid burning.
5
Sprinkle sliced olives over the roasted vegetables and drizzle with a high-quality balsamic vinegar. Garnish with fresh parsley leaves for a visually appealing presentation. Serve the vegetables warm, straight from the oven.
