Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower

Something wonderful happens to the humble cauliflower when it is roasted. It turns nutty, golden, and slightly sweet. Top it with parmesan cheese and you’ll have your new favorite, easy side dish!

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Half Sheet Pan

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Cauliflower Florets
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F / 220°C.
  • Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, and salt. Spread out on a large sheet pan (be sure there is plenty of space between the florets so they will brown).
  • Roast cauliflower, without turning, until nearly tender, 15 minutes.
  • Remove cauliflower from the oven and use a flat spatula to gently flip the cauliflower. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over top.
  • Return cauliflower to the oven and bake until cheese is melted and golden and cauliflower is tender, 5 to 10 minutes more (cook time will vary slightly depending on the size of the florets).

Notes

Kosher Salt - I use Morton’s Kosher Salt to test recipes. If using table salt, reduce by about half. If using Diamond Kosher Salt, increase by about 25%. Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to salt, so be sure to taste and adjust as you go.
