Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower

Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower - best cauliflower ever, baked in oven with butter, olive oil and Parmesan cheese. A perfect side dish!


Fresh off the oven, these cauliflowers tasted utterly delicious. They were slightly burned and caramelized, I could taste the fresh and natural sweetness from the cauliflower. The savory Parmesan cheese completed the taste. I devoured them. When little G came back from school he was hungry for snack. I gave him two pieces of the roasted cauliflower; he was instantly hooked and asked for more. Now, that makes me happy as I found another new vegetable recipe that he would actually eat.

Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 8 oz cauliflower florets, sliced horizontally
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 light dashes of ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon chopped parsley leaves

Method:
Preheat oven to 400°.

  • Toss the sliced cauliflower with the butter and olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper. Transfer the cauliflower to a baking sheet, in single layer, roast until almost tender about 20-30 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan and chopped parsley leaves on top of the cauliflower, roast again until the cheese melts and slightly crusty, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and serve immediately.
