Excellent roasted cauliflower. I absolutely love it and could probably eat the whole batch by myself! I set my oven to 350 degrees F. and roasted the cauliflower for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. It turned out perfectly. The only change I made was to lessen the amount of oil by almost half. It seemed enough for the size head of my cauliflower. I adored the toasted pine nut addition. Yum!

Great recipe for cauliflower. I have roasted a lot of vegetables but this was the first time that I had roasted cauliflower. So glad I found this easy recipe for my first try. The flavors with the olive oil and garlic really were amazing with the cauliflower. I added a little water to my pan during the roasting because my flowerets were browning up nicely but still a bit too crunchy. Thanks for the recipe. Made for The Love Train 2012.

Delightful! This was a great way of preparing cauliflower. The pine nuts added a nice crunch and nutty hint. Thanks for sharing your recipe, katew. Made for the "Best of 2011" tag game.
