Name: Roasted Cauliflower with Coconut-Turmeric Relish
Yield: 4 servings
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)

The key to developing crispy browned surfaces on roasted cauliflower is baking in a superhot oven on the lowest rack so the baking sheet is close to the heat radiating off the bottom of the oven.
