Cauliflower is such a wonderful vegetable because it takes on flavor so well. When you roast it at a high temperature, the edges get sweet and crispy while the inside stays soft and buttery.

This is one of my favorite side dishes because it requires very little effort. If you want a little extra flavor, feel free to squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice over the top right before serving.

Ingredients

  • 1 large head of cauliflower cut into bite sized florets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    Place the cauliflower florets onto a large rimmed baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower and add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

  4. 4

    Toss everything together until the florets are coated evenly and spread them out in a single layer.

  5. 5

    Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown.

  6. 6

    Remove from the oven, sprinkle with parmesan cheese and parsley, and serve immediately.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can reheat them in a hot oven or a toaster oven to bring back the crispiness. This pairs beautifully with roasted chicken or grilled fish.
