Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 2 medium Red onions
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Discard the core and thick stems, or save them for another use.

Step 3

Peel and thinly slice the red onions into half-moons.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and slightly golden.

Step 6

Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until they become soft and golden brown.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the balsamic vinegar and honey. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the onions to absorb the flavors and become deeply caramelized. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Once the cauliflower is done roasting, transfer it to a serving platter. Spoon the caramelized red onions over the cauliflower.

Step 9

If desired, garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish to complement grilled meats, roasted chicken, or a vegetarian main course.
