Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower
Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower has a thick coating of Parmesan cheese that gets wonderfully browned and crispy when roasted. This is the most flavorful cauliflower I have ever tasted.
Ingredients
- 3 ounces Parmesan Cheese, grated (1 1/2 cups)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into 2 inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
-
Place oven rack in lowest position in oven. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Spray a rimmed baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray.
-
In a medium bowl, stir together Parmesan, cornstarch, thyme, salt and pepper.
-
Toss cauliflower and oil together in large bowl.
Add Parmesan mixture. Toss until well coated.
-
Transfer mixture to prepared baking sheet. Use a rubber spatula to scrape out all the cheese mixture from the bowl onto the cauliflower.
Spread cauliflower out evenly.
-
Roast for 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Flip each piece over with a spatula and return to oven for 3 to 5 more minutes.
Recipe Notes
It's best to freshly grate Parmesan cheese for this recipe with a rasp-style grater.
