  • 1 small head of cauliflower
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • Salt and black pepper

  • Chop the head of cauliflower into varied pieces ranging from small to large bite size. In a mixing bowl add the cauliflower florets, olive oil, crushed red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper to taste. Toss the ingredients until everything is evenly coated and seasoned.  Transfer to a cast iron skillet or any other oven proof skillet and sprinkle the olives on top.  Place on cooking source or inside the oven and cook for 8-10, tender but not mushy.
