Roasted Cauliflower with Garlic and Hazelnut Oil



I've probably made this healthy snack as least once a week for the last year. It's up on the list with that Candied Salmon I was writing about a few days ago. It's so easy to make and gives me an excuse to use my nice Hazelnut oil.

I'm not even going to give an ingredients list. It's too simple.
- Preheat your oven to about 400F.
- Chop up a head of cauliflower into bite size pieces and place on a baking sheet.
- Roughly chop anywhere from 2 cloves to an entire bulb of garlic (to your taste)and add to cauliflower.
- Drizzle 3 to 4 tablespoons of hazelnut oil on the cauliflower.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Thoroughly mix all ingredients and pop in the oven for 30-45 minutes.
- You'll know it's done when the pieces are turning golden brown around the edges.

Enjoy this. If you love (or even just like) cauliflower, you'll make this all of the time.

*** If you don't have Hazelnut oil, may I suggest La Tourangelle. They have a variety of delicious gourmet oils including Hazelnut, Almond, Grapeseed, Walnut, Avocado, etc.

  1. I have the exact same hazelnut oil in my cupboard! I have the walnut oil too! The walnut one is great drizzled on a smoked chicken salad with slices of avocado. I've been wanting to use the hazelnut for a while! I am so gonna make this delicious dish!

    Thanks!

  2. Thanks for the idea using the walnut oil. I also have it. I used some of it in a sugar scrub as a Christmas present this year, otherwise I don't use it too much. I'm always looking for new ideas for those oils.

    I hope you liked the cauliflower. It's one of my favourite snacks.
