Equipment

  • Sharp Knife
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Half Sheet Pan
  • Flat Spatula

Ingredients

  • 1 head Purple Cauliflower, cut into florets (about 2 pounds)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan Cheese (optional)

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).
