Ingredients
- 1 large cauliflower head cleaned and separated into florets; 1 pound
- 4 tablespoons olive oil extra-virgin
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ cup parmesan grated
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place the cauliflower florets in a rimmed baking dish large enough to accommodate them in a single layer, such as a 9x13-inch rectangular dish.
- Toss the cauliflower florets in the pan with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. I use my hands to ensure the florets are well-coated.
- Roast the cauliflower for 15 minutes. Gently stir the florets and sprinkle them with the parmesan.
- Continue baking the cauliflower until tender and golden, about 10-15 more minutes.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
Notes
- For crispy results, space the florets in the baking dish. If the florets are too crowded in the pan, they will steam rather than roast and won't come out crispy.
- You can use fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder. But I like how the powder uniformly coats the cauliflower and doesn't burn as quickly in the oven as fresh garlic.
- You can buy a whole head of cauliflower and separate it into florets, or get a bag of pre-washed florets. If you opt for the second option, you'll find that some cauliflower florets are quite large while others are small. It's a good idea to cut the large ones so they are all about the same size.
- You could sprinkle breadcrumbs (gluten-free if needed) or crushed pork rinds on top of the cauliflower in addition to Parmesan, but it's delicious with just the cheese.
- You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat them in the microwave at 50% power or in a 350°F oven. Sometimes, instead of reheating the leftovers, I add them cold to a salad.
