1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12x18-inch baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
2

In a small, microwave-safe bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and freshly ground pepper. Microwave on High for 20 to 30 seconds, watching closely, and remove as soon as the oil bubbles. Set aside.
3

In a large bowl, combine cauliflower florets, red onion, and red bell pepper. Pour in the olive oil mixture and stir until all the vegetables are coated. Spread the vegetables on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
4

Roast in the preheated oven until the vegetables are cooked to your liking, 20 to 25 minutes. For extra color, broil for 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully so the vegetables do not burn.

Sprinkle sliced olives over the vegetables and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm.
