This irresistible roasted cauliflower can be served as an appetizer or a side dish. It's sweet and caramelized and just as good as a restaurant version.
1 medium head cauliflower (about 2 lb. or about 6 - 7 c. florets)
2 T. olive oil
1 t. garlic powder
1 t. oregano
¾ t. kosher salt, or to taste
1/2 - 2/3 c. freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
finely chopped Italian parsley for garnish, if desired
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Clean cauliflower, discarding green parts. Chop cauliflower into medium florets.
In a large bowl, stir together florets with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano and salt.
Spread cauliflower out on prepared baking sheet.
Roast on the bottom rack for about 20 minutes or until browned on the bottom.
Remove baking sheet from the oven; toss with the cheese. Roast 7 - 10 more minutes until cheese is browned and cauliflower is tender.
Serve immediately, garnished with finely chopped parsley, if desired.
4 servings.
