This recipe is one of my go-to appetizers, especially if I’m hosting a big group. Although it takes time, it’s totally worth it as it tastes so delicious. Watch the video below to learn the step by step instructions, or continue reading down for the full written recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1 whole cauliflower
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp salt, for boiling (plus more for drizzling)

Directions:

Step 1

To start, boil enough water to cover the whole head of cauliflower. While waiting, cut the base of the cauliflower parallel to the top so it will sit flat. Next, add 3 tbsp of salt to the boiling water, then drop the cauliflower, stems side up (if it floats, put a ceramic plate on top to keep it under water). Boil it for ten to fifteen minutes. Once done boiling, lift the cauliflower out using a spider strainer and transfer it to your wire rack. Leave it for 30 minutes to cool it completely.

Step 2

Once cooled completely, transfer the cauliflower to a baking sheet and coat it with 1 tbsp olive oil using a basting brush, then sprinkle some salt. Place the cauliflower in the oven at 450 degrees F and bake for 24 to 45 minutes or until it turns a deep golden, charcoal-y appearance. After baking, cool it down slightly, then drizzle down the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil. Serve and enjoy!
