This recipe is guaranteed to leave you scratching your head: How can something THIS simple taste THAT good? Well, believe it, because it’s true. This Garlic Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower is about to knock your socks off!
Just don’t forget to check the tips for variations at the end of this post: There are tons of different ways to make this addictive dish.
Serves: 6
Instructions:
2 lbs = 910 g cauliflower (about 1 large head), chopped into bite-size pieces
1/4 cup = 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 cup = 240 ml freshly ground Parmesan cheese
12 slices (7 oz = 200 g) bacon, fried and crumbled
(optional: freshly ground black pepper and unrefined sea salt OR Himalayan salt, to taste)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 400 °F (200 °C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the cauliflower chunks, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper (if using) into a large bowl.
Toss until well mixed.
Spread the cauliflower on the lined baking sheet in a single layer so that the cauliflower chunks barely touch each other.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven.
Flip the cauliflower chunks over.
Sprinkle the Parmesan evenly on top of the cauliflower, then sprinkle with the crumbled bacon.
Bake for another 10 minutes, or until the Parmesan is golden and the cauliflower is crisp-tender.
Remove from the oven and serve—for example, with your Homemade Ranch Dressing.
TIPS FOR VARIATION
If you feel like adding some tang to this dish, mix 1-2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice and the grated yellow zest (no white pith!) from one lemon with the cauliflower chunks before baking them. You can omit the bacon, as I think this lemony version is better without bacon (but if you are a real bacon lover, you can naturally add as much bacon as you want!)
Feel free to experiment with different spices and herbs. You can omit the garlic and use different herbs instead. How about lemon zest and thyme? Or rosemary and orange zest? Parsley and lemon (why do I think about lemon all the time!?) Cajun seasoning? BBQ seasoning (perfect for the grilling season, or to add a dash of summer flavor year-round)?
