Ingredients

  • 1 head Romanesco, cut into florets
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400° and line a roasting pan with parchment paper.
  • Place Romanesco in the roasting pan, drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Arrange florets in a single layer. Roast 20 to 25 minutes, turning partway through, until tender and tips turn golden brown.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.
  • Store chilled in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days.

Notes

Variations:
  • Add citrus: after roasting sprinkle with juice of half a lemon and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
  • Spice it up with a tiny pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • Pair with chickpeas roasted on the same pan.
  • Substitute for broccoli in this Roasted Broccoli and Celery Root recipe.
  • Top with toasted gluten-free bread crumbs for added texture.
