roasted Chinese cauliflower florets on plate.

Roasted Chinese Cauliflower

This is sometimes called Taiwanese cauliflower in Asian markets. It's really easy to cook and in my opinion a better option for roasting than regular cauliflower. It's a little sweeter and more tender.

Ingredients
  

  • ½ large head Chinese cauliflower (about 1 ½ pounds)
  • 3 tablespoons oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Starting from the base of the cauliflower, use your hands or a pairing knife to break the cauliflower into small florets about ½ inch thick.
  • To a large bowl, add the cauliflower, oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
  • Gently toss together then spread on a baking sheet. Try to leave a little bit of space between each piece of cauliflower so steam can escape. Bake at 425°F for 18-20 minutes until the tips are crispy and charred.
