Cauliflower on its own is quite bland and no one really likes it, but roast it and it becomes a delicious and easy side dish for any meal. Once the basic roasting of the cauliflower with salt and pepper is complete you can jazz it up however you like: seasonings such as lemon pepper, Asian spices or simple herbs can all make a great addition to this simple dish!
Ingredients:
- 1 head of cauliflower
- 1 tbsp salt and pepper
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves crushed garlic
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
- Cut the cauliflower into small florets making sure there is still a good amount of stem attached to keep each floret together
- Place into a large mixing bowl and add the salt, pepper, olive oil and garlic. Mix until all of the cauliflower is coated
