I'm sorry if this has been asked before...I tried to find previous threads, but I didn't find the answers I was looking for...  

Here is Lisa Robertson's recipe:

-1 cauliflower, cut up in small florets
-1 red onion cut in large pieces
-1 whole garlic, peel and mince cloves
Olive oil
Salt
Toss it all together, put on a baking sheet, in the oven at 400 degrees for 1 hour.

I've made it a couple of times, but I took it out early because it was starting to burn and turning black.  (Yikes!)  I saw on her Facebook page that someone said to bake it at 350 degrees.  If you've made this, have you adjusted the temperature or time?  Do you line your pan with foil or parchment?  Have you added any other ingredients?

I appreciate any tips you have.  My family really loved this, so I will be making it again.  I just don't want to burn it!

I pretty much follow that recipe, but I do like my veggies pretty well done (yes, they looked burned). I do line my pan with foil. You don't have to let them get that done if you don't want to.

Thank you @morganjen 😀

I was afraid that lining with foil would make it bake even faster, but my pan can be difficult to clean, so I thought I'd try that.  

Our veggies start turning black by 40 minutes.  Last time I set the timer at 45 minutes and got preoccupied.  When it buzzed, half the veggies in the pan were black.  My guys still ate it all.  They love this!

I turn it and stir it up about every fifteen minutes while it is cooking and then I also add more olive oil as I go along.

Thank you @Kitlynn

I'll try stirring it next time.

I love cauliflower!  I love it plain, raw, roasted, baked, etc!  Thanks for the recipe! I eat cauliflower daily!  I love broccoli and cauliflower!

@winamac1 If you like cauliflower, you'll probably love this.  

I've thought about adding broccoli.  I may try that.  Last time I added some grated Parmesan cheese after I took it out of the oven, and my husband asked me to add bacon.  I cooked the bacon in the microwave, crumbled it, and added it at the end.  I pitched this as a healthy snack, and he wanted bacon.    He works out 5-6 times each week, so he can afford to indulge. 

Someone on Lisa's FB page suggested adding bread crumbs.  I haven't tried that, though.

I also love that recipe and cook less and at a lower temp.  This recipe is also excellent

I use a tahini cream that Trader Joe's sells.

I actually made roasted cauliflower for the first time the other night.  I didn't chase down Lisa's recipe, so I just pulled up a couple on Pinterest and winged it.  I basically had the same ingredients except for the onion.  I roasted mine at 400 degrees for 1/2 an hour.  It came out good, just starting to brown.  I could have let it go a little longer, but I don't think I'd go the whole hour.  I did that with broccoli one time, and I burnt it to a crisp!  I'd say start checking it after 1/2 hour so you can pull it out when it gets to the point you like it.

And thank you so much for posting Lisa's recipe here!  I hadn't printed it when I read it in her blog, and I just didn't want to take the time the other day to try to find it again.

Roast it until it gets to the color and texture that you like.  It's OK to roast it for less time or at a different temp.   It's your poreference.
