A flavorful and easy-to-make roasted vegetable dish with Mediterranean flair.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal roasting results.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets, chickpeas, green olives, and minced garlic.
Ensure the ingredients are evenly mixed for consistent flavor.
Drizzle the mixture with olive oil and sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes and salt. Toss everything to coat evenly.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the cauliflower florets.
Spread the mixture onto a roasting pan in a single layer.
A single layer ensures even roasting and prevents steaming.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden and tender.
Stirring halfway ensures even browning on all sides.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Adding parsley at the end preserves its fresh flavor and vibrant color.
