Cooking Instructions
- 1
Arrange a rack at the bottom of the oven and heat to 450 degrees. With the stalk end facing up, slice the cauliflower in half through the stalk, then when your knife reaches florets, pull the pieces apart. (Pulling instead of cutting through the florets will prevent little buds from falling off.) Continue to slice through the stalks and pull apart florets until pieces are no thicker than 1 inch.
- 2
In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower pieces with the olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Spread in an even layer, cut sides down, on a parchment-paper-lined pan. Roast, undisturbed, on the bottom rack until golden brown on the underside, 15 to 20 minutes. (Check pieces in the middle of the pan, because pieces at the edges brown faster.)
- 3
Flip the cauliflower, sprinkle with the Parmesan, then roast until the cauliflower is tender and the Parmesan is melted and golden in spots, 7 to 10 minutes. Let cool a few minutes for the Parmesan to crisp. Use a spatula to transfer the cauliflower and any cheese on the sheet pan to plates.

Cauliflower may not be the most exciting of veggies, but roasting it completely changes the flavor. It is, by far, the best way to enjoy this veggie. This makes a wonderful side dish to any meal or it can be the starter to delicious cauliflower soup. This basic recipe calls for just salt, pepper and garlic powder, but it's also so good made with a variety of different seasonings. Christina -

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 Ricardo -

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. john wynne -
Crispy Charred Cauliflower Crispy Charred Cauliflower
This was a happy, delicious accident after failing to make it to the oven on time when the time was up because I was preoccupied by my 1 year old. They were meant to be turned into cauliflower tots, but we're unusable for that. However, I like a little Charred flavor now and then and thought this was great for munching! 😉 StephieCanCook -
