A simple yet flavorful side dish that combines roasted cauliflower and savory Parmesan cheese for a delightful medley that complements any meal.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 large head of cauliflower (about 2 to 3 pounds), cut into florets
3 tablespoons olive oil, preferably extra virgin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, finely grated
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until all the florets are well coated.
Place the seasoned cauliflower on a large baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and the edges are crisp.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot cauliflower. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once the cheese is golden and crispy, remove the dish from the oven. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh touch, and serve immediately.
