Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower
  • 3 large carrots
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley for garnish Optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and dry the cauliflower and carrots. Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and slice the carrots into sticks or rounds.
  3. Mince the garlic cloves.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower and carrots with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Roast in the oven for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and golden-brown.
  7. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

For extra crispiness, broil the vegetables for the last 2–3 minutes of cooking.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
