2 teaspoons olive oil, divided (for brushing pan and cauliflower)
Preheat oven to 450F.
Cut large stem off cauliflower.
Wash under running water. Drain or dry thoroughly.
Slice cauliflower florets in half (thirds if possible). Cut into similar sizes for even browning.
Make dressing: In a large bowl squeeze the juice of half of a large lemon(2 tablespoons). Add olive oil, salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Whisk to mix until cloudy..
Add dressing to cauliflower and toss gently to combine.
It really upsets me to see such a forlorn face...

Brush a baking sheet with oil.
Spread the cauliflower in single layer on a baking sheet, flat side down.
Brush top of cauliflower with a little more olive oil (about 1 teaspoon)
Do not include any "water" that has collected at the bottom of the bowl.
[I do not add the small bits of cauliflower, I eat them or add them instead to a salad since they brown much quicker than the bigger pieces...]

OPTIONAL: Cut one-half of the lemon in thin slices. Place the lemon slices on top the cauliflower. The lemons add more lemon flavor....and I like eating the lemons too.
Place the pan in the oven and roast until cauliflower is golden brown [checking and turning after 10 minutes], about 15-30 minutes--depending on your oven...
Pay close attention after the 10 minute point, as they brown very quickly after that.
...like the pic below...
If this happens, be prepared for hate mail from your "perfect" family and frenemies..
These below are actually golden brown...
Being a Trini, I happen to like it a little darker...
Do what makes YOU happy...;-)
Enjoy guilt free. Repeat. Fit comfortably in work clothes...
