Roasted Cauliflower
Description
The recipe requires cutting a large cauliflower head into florets and tossing them in olive oil along with salt, black pepper, and garlic. Roasting at 220°C (425°F) develops caramelized edges while cooking the inside to tenderness. Turning the florets after 20 minutes ensures even roasting for about 25 minutes total.
Adding grated Parmesan and panko breadcrumbs before roasting creates a golden crust that adds nuttiness and crunch that contrast the soft cauliflower. Sprinkling freshly chopped parsley after roasting offers a fresh herbal note, enhancing flavor and brightness.
Serving the cauliflower immediately highlights its best texture and flavor. This recipe makes a straightforward vegetable side that complements many dishes, requiring relatively few ingredients and simple preparation for a widely appealing roasted vegetable.
Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower cut into florets (see my easy method, large head
- 2 1/2 tbsp olive oil

- 2 garlic finely minced, cloves
- 1 tbsp parsley , roughly chopped, for sprinkling (optional)
Parmesan Flavour Option:

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 220°C/425°F (200°C fan).
