Ingredients
- 2 lb (900 g) cauliflower florets
- 3 tbsp (45 mL) olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 0.75 tsp (4 g) kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp (1 g) black pepper
- 0.5 cup (45 g) parmesan cheese
Cooking instructions
- Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment, if desired. (about 5 min) — 425°F (220°C)
- Place the cauliflower florets in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, minced garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper; toss until evenly coated. (about 5 min)
- Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the baking sheet, leaving space between pieces. Roast until browned in spots and nearly tender when pierced with a fork, 20 to 22 minutes. (about 22 min) — 425°F (220°C)
- Sprinkle the Parmesan evenly over the cauliflower. Return to the oven and roast until the cheese is melted and lightly golden and the cauliflower is fully tender, 3 to 5 minutes more. Serve hot. (about 5 min) — 425°F (220°C)
