Roasted Cauliflower with Parmesan and Garlic

Roasted whole cauliflower with parmesan and garlic looks good on any table. Whole baked cauliflower can be a vegetarian main dish or a healthy low carb side dish. Its quick to make and high in flavour and no work needed! And it is drizzled with garlic parmesan sauce to enhance flavour. This is my favourite go-to cauliflower recipe and I hope you enjoy making it!

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

1 small or meduim head Cauliflower

1/3 cup Olive Oil

3 cloves crushed garlic

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (divided)

1 tsp dried basil

1 tsp dried parsley

1 tsp dried thyme

1/2 tsp or more Sea Salt 

1/4 tsp Black pepper

1/2 tsp Chillie flakes

Method:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

In a small bowl, make the garlic parmesan sauce. Whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons (28.3 grams) grated Parmesan (half of the total amount), chillie flakes, basil, parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Place the trimmed cauliflower head upside down (core side up) onto a dutch oven or a baking try. Drizzle half of the sauce over the cauliflower, tilting it to let it drip down the core and all around. Flip over and drizzle the remaining sauce over the top. Use a pastry brush to brush on any that had dripped down to the pan or didn't spread well.

Bake for 35-45 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender and pierces easily with a skewer, knife or fork.

Sprinkle the top of the cauliflower with the remaining 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese. Continue to bake for about 5 minutes, until the cheese is browned.
