Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (about 2 pounds) Cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Cut the cauliflower into small florets and discard the core and leaves. Rinse and thoroughly dry the florets.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir well to create a flavorful coating.
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the olive oil mixture.
Spread the coated florets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap for even roasting.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the florets.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes or until the Parmesan is melted and golden brown.
Remove the cauliflower from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious, savory side dish!
