Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 head cauliflower (1 head) cauliflower
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons (22 ml) olive oil
  • 1/2 cup (1.25 dl) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons (7 ml) minced dried garlic
  • 1 teaspoons (5 ml) onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) garlic salt
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • Your favorite marinara sauce or other dip

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Line two baking pans with aluminum foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, red pepper, black pepper, and garlic salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, toss cauliflower florets with oil.
  5. Sprinkle Parmesan mixture over cauliflower, lightly pressing it onto the florets.
  6. Place cauliflower florets in a single layer on prepared baking pans.
  7. Roast for 15 minutes, toss, then roast for another 15 minutes, or until tender, caramelized, and golden brown.
  8. Remove from oven and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese while hot.
  9. Serve with marinara sauce or your favorite dip.

Notes

  • For extra crispy cauliflower, ensure florets are relatively uniform in size and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
  • If you don’t have dried herbs, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped herbs (a mix of oregano, parsley, and thyme would work well).
  • Store leftover roasted cauliflower in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s delicious cold or reheated.
