Description

Oven-roasted Parmesan cauliflower is a simple yet flavorful side dish that transforms humble cauliflower into a sensational treat with crispy edges and cheesy goodness.


Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (e.g., oregano, thyme, basil)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine cauliflower florets, olive oil, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat.
  3. Spread the seasoned cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  4. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown.
  6. Serve hot as a side dish.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding crushed red pepper flakes or a squeeze of lemon juice. Keep an eye on the cauliflower as it roasts to ensure even browning.
