Easy Side Dish or Snack Recipe
Roasted Parmesan cauliflower is one of those snacks that are surprisingly delicious. Although I don’t dislike cauliflower, it’s not the first vegetable I typically go to. However, this makes me rethink that. The cauliflower absorbs the flavors of the seasonings and delivers a delightful flavor that keeps me going back for more!

Benefits of Cauliflower
According to Medical News Today, cauliflower is packed with antioxidants, fiber, and other nutrients that keep you healthy. It also helps strengthen your bones, prevent cancer, and aid the cardiovascular system.
Ingredients
Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make this delicious snack or side dish:
- Cauliflower (of course)
- Olive oil
- Parmesan cheese
- Garlic powder
- Seasoned salt

For exact measurements of each ingredient and full directions, go to the recipe card at the bottom of the page. You can even print out the card by clicking on the “print” button.
Directions
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, and seasoned salt.

Next, add the cauliflower pieces. Mix everything well, making sure that all of the cauliflower is coated.
I like to use my hands, but you can use a spoon if you prefer.

Spread the seasoned cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer. Pop the pan into the oven and roast for a little while.

Remove the pan from the oven and turn all of the cauliflower pieces over. You can shake or toss it, but I used a spatula because I think it’s easier.

Return the pan to the oven. Roast until the cauliflower is golden brown.
Delicious Vegetable Treat for the Win
Many kids turn their noses up at vegetables. However, once they taste these delightful morsels, they’ll be begging for more.

You can serve this cauliflower as is. However, you can also kick it up a notch by serving it with ranch dressing for dipping.
If you’re the adventurous type, experiment with a variety of dips. In fact, I think this would even be good with wing sauce.
If you want to have a snack table loaded with nutrition, include these scrumptious plantain chips with zesty dip. They’re fun to eat and totally yummy.
Another appetizer you can add is a plate of these fruit kabobs. Sweet and packed with vitamins, this snack helps keep your family and friends healthy.
