Garlic Roasted Cauliflower with Toasted Asiago Bread Crumbs
Description
This recipe for Garlic Roasted Cauliflower creates tender florets with browned edges by roasting them at 450°F, seasoned simply with olive oil, garlic cloves, salt, and pepper. Meanwhile, a skillet is used to develop toasted bread crumbs by sautéing finely diced onion and crushed garlic until golden, then stirring in breadcrumbs and fresh thyme. Once golden and cooled slightly, Asiago cheese is stirred in to add a salty, nutty element. The toasted bread crumb mixture is sprinkled over the roasted cauliflower just before serving to provide textural contrast and savory flavor. The combination of roasted garlic and aromatic herbs enhances the natural sweetness of the cauliflower, making it a flavorful side dish or vegetarian option.
