Note to self (and all): To save time, I used an immersion blender with the oil and garlic. Um, that's only good if you're serving major garlic freaks. Don't do it!

I loved this recipe when you posted it, and finally made it last night. It was so easy and delicious--I actually ate the entire cauliflower (thankfully, not all in one sitting). thank you for the great recipes!

If the cauliflower is on the larger side, I reduce the temp to 350°C and bake it until is done, or some times I cut it half and roasted that way. Thanks cheese1227 for the different recommendations :)

My fiance made this last night---I love the idea of roasting the whole head, but it didn't work out for us. In order to get the thing to cook through we eventually had to cover it with foil and put a little water in the baking dish. Maybe this method will work only if your head of cauliflower is on the small side?
In any case, the flavor combination was lovely. In the future I'll break up the cauliflower into florets to get more thorough cooking and more browning, and I might add a touch of sweetness---either roast some garlic in the pan with the cauliflower or add a few peas to the finished dish.

I used a whole, large head and it cooked evenly but I did lower the heat 325 so that it was not too brown on the outside before it was fully cooked.

That works, too! (I didn't get home until after it had been in the oven for most of the allotted time, so that's how we ended up with the foil.) Do you remember how long it took at 325?

By the way I like your idea of roasting the garlic along side with the cauliflower, I think that will bring good flavor to the dish. Especially for the people that are bit squeamish eating raw garlic! I will have to try it next time.

I don't remember the timing on the 325 route. I used a meat fork to test for doneness in the center of the cauliflower.

That sounds absolutely delicious and is seemingly easy to do! I'm going to have to try it.

Making this for dinner! It's rainy, cold and I have all the ingredients already in the house so that means there is no getting out of my slippers today. I LOVE when that happens.
