This is an adapted recipe I found at allrecipes.com. The high oven heat really brings out the sweetness of the vegetable. Vegans can also cut out the Parmesan cheese and still have tons of flavor. This recipe works well with brussels sprouts as well.
1 head cauliflower
1T. mixed garlic
1T + 1t. oil of your choice
1/2 t. salt
1 pinch black pepper
2 T. Parmesan cheese
2 t. chopped parsley
Procedure
1. Heat oven to 450 (I have a convection roasting setting on my oven that works well)
2. Wash can cut cauliflower into florets. In a bowl toss cauliflower with garlic, oil, salt and pepper.
3. Bake cauliflower on sheet pan or roasting pan for about 25 minutes or until lightly golden brown (you will need to stir or toss it half way through the cooking process). It usually only takes about 23 minutes in my oven.
4. After the cauliflower has the desired color, sprinkle on parmesan cheese and cook for an additional 2-5 minutes on a broil setting or until cheese is melted and crispy. When adding cheese I find it helpful to put some parchment paper down on your pan for easy clean up. Also a good tip: Spread the cauliflower out. Don't over crowd the pan. If you do the florets will steam cook rather than roast and you will not achieve that nice color and texture.
