Ingredients

• 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into 1"–2" florets
• 5 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
• Coconut-Turmeric Relish (for serving; optional)

Instructions

1. Place oven rack in lowest position and preheat to 450°F. Toss cauliflower and oil on a large rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Arrange cauliflower so a flat side is facing down and roast until dark brown and crisp on bottom, 15–20 minutes. Remove from oven and turn pieces over. Roast until second side is dark brown and crisp, 10–15 minutes. Let cool slightly.
2. Transfer warm cauliflower to a platter. If using, spoon relish over top and season with more salt and pepper.
