👨‍🍳 Method

For the Roasted Vegetables

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Scrub the cauliflower well under running water and dry completely.
    Kitchen towel
  3. 3
    Rub the cauliflower with the olive oil and salt on all sides.
  4. 4
    Place the cauliflower straight on the oven rack, with a baking sheet on the shelf below.
