This roasted garlic Parmesan cauliflower is a simple yet flavorful side dish that’s sure to please everyone at the table. With crispy edges, tender bites, and a delicious garlic-Parmesan coating, it’s a perfect accompaniment to any meal!

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  2. Prepare the Cauliflower:
    Place the cauliflower florets in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then add minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss until the cauliflower is well coated.

  3. Roast the Cauliflower:
    Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender.

  4. Add Parmesan:
    Remove the cauliflower from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to melt the cheese.

  5. Serve:
    Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot alongside your favorite main dish.

Pro Tip:

Roasted Garlic Cauliflower with Parmesan is the perfect combination of simplicity and flavor. Whether you’re serving it as a side dish or a stand-alone snack, its golden, crispy texture and rich, cheesy garlic notes will keep everyone coming back for more.

For extra crispiness, toss the cauliflower in a tablespoon of cornstarch before roasting. This helps the florets brown beautifully and gives them a satisfying crunch!
