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.

This recipe makes a delightful appetizer. But it’s also delicious as a side dish that will have people going back for seconds.

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.

You can eat cauliflower raw or cooked in any number of ways, including this way.

Whether you dip it in sauce or enjoy it simply roasted with seasonings, you’ll reap the benefits in a big way.

For so long, people have turned their noses up at cauliflower because it was either steamed or boiled without additional seasonings.

I have to admit, it can be rather tasteless. However, cauliflower takes on the flavor of what it’s cooked with, so that makes it a versatile dish.

Another thing I’ve noticed is that roasting brings out a sweetness to the cauliflower that’s appealing.

If you need to add more nutrition to your meals, toss in some finely chopped cauliflower. Adding it to soups, stews, and gravy provides a boatload of vitamins to the plate or bowl.

How to Make Roasted Parmesan Cauliflower

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.
