1 medium cauliflower (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper


1. Cut the cauliflower into 2-inch florets. Trim off the ends of the stems. Cut thick stems crosswise into 1/4-inch slices.

2. Place a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the cauliflower in a roasting pan just large enough to hold it in single layer. Toss with the oil and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper.

3. Bake, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender and lightly browned. Serve warm.
