Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Bread crumbs
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower and chop it into bite-sized florets.
Place the florets on a baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and tender, flipping halfway through cooking.
While the cauliflower roasts, finely chop the garlic cloves and fresh parsley.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the bread crumbs and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the crumbs are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the chopped parsley and lemon zest. Set aside.
Once the cauliflower is done roasting, transfer it to a serving platter.
Sprinkle the garlic bread crumb mixture over the roasted cauliflower.
Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant, flavorful dish!
