Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, discarding the leaves and core.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and ground black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning.
Remove the cauliflower from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the florets.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes, or until the Parmesan cheese has melted and lightly browned.
Take the cauliflower out of the oven and transfer it to a serving dish.
Sprinkle the roasted cauliflower with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and added freshness.
Serve the Parmesan Parsley Roasted Cauliflower immediately while warm. Enjoy!
