Roasted Cauliflower with Parmesan

roastedcauliflowerparmesanThis Roasted Cauliflower with Parmesan Cheese recipe is a quick and easy side dish. It's healthy, gluten free and ready in only 25 minutes. You can roast pretty much any vegetable, but I think cauliflower works particularly well. And adding the Parmesan cheese at the end just takes it to another level.

1 head cauliflower (~ 3-4 cups)
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
¼ tsp. sea salt
¼ tsp. black pepper, freshly cracked

Preheat an oven to 400°F (200°C/180°C fan, Gas Mark 6).

Cut 1 head of cauliflower into uniform pieces.

Spread the cauliflower onto a roasting pan being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Feel free to use 2 roasting pans if cauliflower does not fit onto one pan.

Drizzle 3 Tbsp. or so of olive oil over the cauliflower. Sprinkle ¼ tsp. or so of salt and pepper over the cauliflower. Toss to coat evenly in the olive oil and spices.

Place the baking sheet(s) in the oven and bake for 18 minutes, stirring once to prevent sticking.

Remove the pan(s) after 18 minutes and sprinkle ½ cup Parmesan cheese evenly over the cauliflower. Bake for another 2 minutes.

Serve the roasted cauliflower immediately.
