  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Cauliflower

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets (about 2 lbs or 3-4 cups)

Seasonings and Oil

  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Juice and zest of one lemon (about 1 tablespoon zest and 2 tablespoons juice)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

Toppings

  • 2 oz. crumbled feta cheese (1/2 cup)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as dill, mint, and/or basil)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the cauliflower.
  2. Prepare Cauliflower: Place cauliflower florets on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with dried oregano, garlic powder, and lemon zest. Toss everything together using your hands or a spoon to coat each floret evenly in oil and seasoning.
  3. Roast Cauliflower: Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing once halfway through roasting. Cook until the florets are golden brown and tender.
  4. Finish and Serve: Remove the roasted cauliflower from the oven and transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and fresh herbs. Squeeze the lemon juice over the top and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh herbs based on availability—parsley also works well.
  • For a dairy-free version, omit the feta cheese or use a vegan cheese alternative.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on your dietary needs.
  • Roasting time may vary slightly depending on your oven; check for tenderness and browning.
