Roasted Cauliflower with Parmesan [Recipe]

I love roasted veggies but just haven’t gotten around to trying cauliflower until now.  And what a mistake that’s been. Roasting cauliflower is not only easy but mouth-watering!

I really liked that this recipe used a bag to blend the olive oil and garlic.  I kind of threw it around like it was pizza dough. It made the coat more even and it turned out great.

I’d love to say my kids ate this up but they didn’t even give it a try.  But my husband and I devoured it. Don’t be fooled by its white color. Cauliflower is packed with nutrition — vitamins C, K and B6, folate, and potassium.

Any roasted cauliflower fans out there?

    Looks great! I’m sure my 3 year old wouldn’t touch it with a 10 ft pole, but my husband & I will like it!

    I have been wanting to try roasted cauliflower. I just recently started making it – steamed. I’m going to try this recipe next week.
    Thanks!

    I have made something similar but used Parmesan cheese and Italian Bread crumbs (can us GF breadcrumbs too). I love making cauliflower mashed potatoes. Great healthy nutritious post as always! 🙂

    We love roasted cauliflower here. I never steam it any more. I have actually switched to roasting most of the vegetables I used to steam, brussel sprouts and asparagus are two of our favorites. There is just so much more complexity of flavour when you roast them. Even if it’s just in olive oil and a little salt.

    Sounds like a great side to the hickory bbq chicken i just threw into the crockpot for dinner. Nice change from the “mash” we have been making. I even have all the ingredients so no trip to the store in this cold windy weather.

    I have been making this for years. We had it last night, in fact. I often add broccoli – but I have to add it about halfway through or it burns.

    I was totally fooled by the white colour. All this time I was thinking cauliflower was kinda a “nothing” vegetable (like iceberg lettuce but with more fiber). This is great news. My five year old likes it raw in his lunches. My three year old isn’t quite there yet. We’re still stuck on exclusively cucumber and green beans.

    This is going back on my regular grocery list because I am definitely a roasted cauliflower fan.

    We LOVE it so much – and basically any other veggie roasted. It’s so good, too, with a squeeze of lemon along with the Parmesan at the end. Beets, sliced and roasted, broccoli, carrots and potatoes(of course), brussel sprouts, parsnips and turnips, kale – all so delicious and my fa!

    You asked about cauliflower mashed potatoes….
    Just make mashed potatoes the normal way and add in 1/2 c of pureed cauliflower. I steam the cauliflower and puree in my food processor – I typically have to add about 2 tsp of water during the puree to get a creamy consistency. No one will be able to tell you added the caulfilower to the potatoes!

    We LOVE roasted cauliflower. I have to make 3 large heads just to have enough for 5 of us. My kids gobble it up. One of my daughters call it powerflower:)

    Yeah, we discovered roasted cauliflower last year and were surprised at how good it is. Much better than steamed cauliflower. Great to add into a tray of roast spuds, kumara, yams and pumpkin.

    What an easy twist on cauliflower. My 5 year old is sure to love this, and it’s just heading into winter here in Australia so excellent to add to some warm winter hearty dinners. Thanks Maryann! BTW, Kids Dig Food loves Fearless Feeders 🙂
