Roasted romanesco is a beautiful and flavorful side dish that pairs perfectly with both meat and fish. This oven-baked romanesco is wonderfully crispy because it’s best when still slightly firm.

This green cauliflower looks so festive that it’s perfect for serving during the holidays. With a bit of imagination, the florets even look like little Christmas trees, don’t you think?

Making roasted romanesco – 30 minutes

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 degrees Fahrenheit).

Place the florets on a baking sheet, it’s not necessary to line it with parchment paper.

Drizzle with a generous amount of olive oil, add salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of curry powder on top.

Roast the romanesco in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, they taste best when still slightly firm, but you can roast them a little longer if you prefer.

Finish with the zest of half an orange and serve immediately. Enjoy!
