Low Carb Roasted Cauliflower or Broccoli

This roasted cauliflower is incredible! I generally end up eating half the tray before it’s time to eat! You can also use broccoli using the same recipe below.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large head cauliflower
  • cumin
  • cayenne
  • salt and pepper

You can cut the cauliflower into large slices or smaller bite size pieces. The cooking time will vary depending on the size.

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Cover a baking tray with aluminum foil and spray with olive oil or avocado oil
  3. Wash and dry your cauliflower and cut it up. I actually enjoy cutting into large pieces like this with a variety of smaller ones for left overs.
  4. Spray the cauliflower with olive oil, lightly season/sprinkle the cauliflower with cumin, cayenne, salt and pepper.
  5. Bake for 40 minutes at 400 F. (Smaller pieces of cauliflower may only need to be baked for 25 minutes).

Depending what I’m cooking I also bake several different veggies at one time. For instance, below I baked purple beets, golden beets, cauliflower, broccoli and spaghetti squash at the same time. After 25 minutes I removed the beefs, broccoli and cauliflower and put the spaghetti squash back in the oven for an additional 40 minutes. This is a fantastic way to save time and minimize clean up!
