How To Make roasted cauliflower with spices and cheese
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper
-
Step 2Wash and core the Cauliflower. Cut florets into bite sized pieces. A small cauliflower will serve about 4 people. A very large cauliflower will need to be separated onto 2 pans otherwise it will not roast but bake. You will also need to double your added ingredients.
-
Step 3Put the cauliflower into a bowel and add olive oil. stir until all pieces are covered.
-
Step 4Add spices gradually. Stirring until the spices are spread to all the cauliflower. You can experiment with spice combinations but my family likes a citrus base. You could also use a flavored olive oil.
-
Step 5Transfer to pan. Keep the pieces florets up and keep them from touching one another. Dribble whatever olive oil and spices are left over the cauliflower.
-
Step 6Bake at 400 for 20 minutes or until the florets turn a light golden brown around the edges. It may take a little longer, check them in 5 minute increments after the 20 minutes are up.
-
Step 7When browned, remove from oven and sprinkle the cup of cheese over the florets. Return to oven and continue baking until the cheese has melted and is beginning to brown.
-
Step 8to transfer to serving dish use a spatula. A squeeze of lemon juice is great at this point if you like the tanginess, but not necessary.
-
Step 9This is especially good with grilled fish! Enjoy
