Heat the oven to 400°F. (205°C.) Remove the leaves from the cauliflower. Cut off the lower part of the stem so that it’s even with the bottom florets. Place the cauliflower stem-side down on a cutting board. Cut into ½ -inch slices.
Place in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet (or two baking sheets if it’s a large head.) Sprinkle with salt.
Roast until cauliflower is tender and lightly browned on the edges and the bottom, about 20-25 minutes. Serves 4 to 6.
Notes
Variations:
Toss with smoked paprika, curry powder, or chili powder before or after roasting.
Toss with 1-2 teaspoons olive oil after baking,
Cut cauliflower into small florets instead of slicing.
