Prepare the cauliflower by removing the outer leaves and cutting it into bite-sized florets. Rinse and set aside to dry.

Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the entire dish.

Step 8

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even cooking.

After 30 minutes, remove the dish from the oven and evenly sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the vegetables.

Step 10

Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the feta is warm and slightly browned.
