Take it easy, take it easy. This is a really good recipe. It has great texture, great flavor and is very simple to make. I’ve seen recipes that call for flour egg and breadcrumbs on the slabs of cauliflower and then frying them. However I have done it that way and by just slicing the slabs, putting them on a bit of pizza sauce, more pizza sauce on top and sliced fresh lightly salted mozzarella. Having done it each of these ways, I don’t see the benefit of the added effort, time and mess of frying the cauliflowerA little bit of shaved Romano after you take it out of a 400° oven for 40 minutes, let it cool for 15 minutes and it’s really good. Excellent leftovers, even at room temperature.

1 headcauliflower sliced into inch thick slabs. Don’t worry if some pieces break. And use a paring knife to cut out the green leaves and some of the tough stem
1 jarpizza sauce, because it’s thick. Otherwise you can use prepared tomato sauce
1ball fresh lightly salted mozzarella sliced into a half inch rounds
Freshly grated Romano cheese to taste

Cooking Instructions

40 minutes

1

Slice the cauliflower into 1 inch slabs. After the score in the green leaves and tough stem, save everything else and use them to fill in the gaps in a ceramic baking dish.
2

Pour some pizza sauce over the bottom of the dish and then arrange the cauliflower as best as you can in a single layer.
3

Pour more pizza sauce over the top but don’t overdo it.
4

Put the slices of mozzarella on top of the pizza sauce.
5

Spoon just a little more pizza sauce on top of the mozzarella
6

Bake in a 400° preheated oven for 40 minutes checking after 35 to make sure the mozzarella isn’t overcooked.
7

Take out of the oven, look cool for at least 15 minutes and serve. Use a slotted spoon because the cauliflower may give off some liquid.

I love roasted cauliflower. I found this recipe by Melissa Clark in the New York Times. If it’s an entrée she adds pancetta; but if it’s a side dish, she skips it. I do the same.#cauliflower #olives #Parmesan #side #entrée #pancetta #bacon #vegetable #baked #lemon #parsley

I had a head of cauliflower and wanted to do something a little different than our norm. I made this super easy by using pre-grated parm and prepared minced garlic.

There are many wonderfully delicious ways to roast cauliflower. Even finicky eaters will enjoy this. Great with Roasted chicken and meats. P.S.....had my husband make this while I'm off my feet. If he can do it, so can you...lol Plus it is why there is lack of step pictures!

Some of my family members are on the keto diet. My brother showed me how to make this macaroni and cheese substitute and I put my own spin on it. Now we eat this at least two to three times a month. Sometimes we even add broccoli! Bacon, cauliflower, broccoli, cheese. What's better than that?

We're on a "health" kick with the new year, so weaning the children of pasta is safer than cold turkey. Be sure to season with salt, pepper. And feel free to substitute any cheese preference. My kids won't touch anything but cheddar. :)

I had this dish on my first station, years ago. Just a good, simple combo. I changed up the sauce a bit though, swapping a roux base for a cauliflower purée to lighten it up and avoid wasting the tasty cauliflower core.
