Roasted Cauliflower with Parmesan Cheese


Servings:  6
Preparation Time:  7 min
Cooking Time:  15 min
Level of Difficulty:  Easy

The rich, nutty flavor of freshly grated Parmesan cheese pairs beautifully with cauliflower. Try the same recipe with broccoli, baby carrots and asparagus, too.
 
Ingredients :

6 cup(s) cauliflower, florets, fresh (about 1 head), or frozen and thawed   
1 Tbsp olive oil   
1/2 tsp kosher salt   
1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground   
1/4 cup(s) grated Parmesan cheese, Parmigiano-Reggiano suggested   


Method :

Preheat oven to 450ºF. 
In a large bowl, combine cauliflower, oil, salt and pepper; toss to combine. 
Transfer cauliflower to a large baking sheet and spread into a single layer. 
Roast until cauliflower is golden brown, tossing occasionally, about 15 minutes. 
Remove from oven, place in serving bowl and sprinkle with cheese; toss to mix. 
Yields about 3/4 cup per serving.

Notes :

When you want variety, use shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese instead of Parmesan.
