Roasted Garlic Parmesan Cauliflower

This Roasted Garlic Parmesan Cauliflower is a deliciously crispy and flavorful side dish that’s sure to be a hit at any meal. The cauliflower is coated in a buttery garlic mixture, tossed in Parmesan and breadcrumbs, and roasted to golden perfection.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 cup Italian or plain breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 medium cauliflower head (cut into florets)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2: Prep the Cauliflower

  1. Remove all the leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into evenly-sized florets. If some florets are large, slice them in half to ensure even cooking.

Step 3: Prepare the Butter and Garlic

  1. In a small bowl, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and stir well to combine.

Step 4: Make the Breading Mixture

  1. In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5: Bread the Cauliflower

  1. Dip each cauliflower floret first into the butter and garlic mixture, making sure it’s fully coated.
  2. Then, dip the cauliflower into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the breadcrumbs stick to the floret.
  3. Place the breaded cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all florets are coated.

Step 6: Roast the Cauliflower

  1. Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 32-35 minutes, or until the breading turns golden brown and the cauliflower is tender when pierced with a fork.
