A delightful twist on roasted cauliflower, enhanced with aromatic herbs and a hint of citrus.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy texture.
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and place them in a mixing bowl.
Cutting the florets evenly helps them cook at the same rate.
Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower and toss to coat evenly.
Ensure all pieces are lightly coated for even roasting.
Add the minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, thyme, and lemon zest to the bowl and mix well.
Mix thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly.
Spread the seasoned cauliflower onto a baking sheet in a single layer.
Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet for optimal roasting.
Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and tender.
Stirring ensures even browning on all sides.
Transfer the roasted cauliflower to a serving dish and enjoy.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
