Ingredients
  

  • 1 head cauliflower cut into florets
  • 1 tablespoon quality olive oil plus more for lining baking sheet
  • ⅛ teaspoon quality sea salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon quality black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons gorganzola broken into crumbles
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (~220 C).
  • Cut cauliflower florets from head, separating into small pieces Add to a large glass mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Add pinch of salt, pepper and chili flakes and stir to combine.
  • Roast cauliflower on cookie sheet for 25-30 minutes. To achieve max flavor, let cauliflower brown on pan without moving for 15 minutes before flipping.
  • When cauliflower has browned on all sides, remove and plate. Sprinkle crumbled gorgonzola and a squeeze of lime over the top and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Tip: Don’t add too much salt when roasting. Gorgonzola is naturally a very salty cheese so go light and then add more if needed once you’ve added cheese.
  • How to cut a cauliflower: To properly cut a head of cauliflower without getting crumbled everywhere, flip it upside down and cut into stem and then twist knife until stalk break. Then break large stalks into smaller florets (see this video for an example of cutting cauliflower)
  • Leftovers and Storage: Store in an airtight containers in a refrigerator for up to five days and reheat in microwave or in a pan over medium-low heat (this will also be good cold and can be a great salad topper).
