Parmesan garlic roasted cauliflower is a delicious and healthy side dish that's perfect for any meal. With its crispy texture and savory flavors, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. This recipe is simple and quick to make, requiring just a few ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with some olive oil.
2. Prepare the Cauliflower: Wash the cauliflower thoroughly and pat it dry. Cut the cauliflower into evenly-sized florets to ensure even roasting.
3. Season the Cauliflower:
- Place the cauliflower florets in a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower and toss to coat evenly.
- Add minced garlic, a dash of salt, and a dash of black pepper to the bowl. Squeeze the juice from the lemon wedge over the cauliflower.
- Toss everything together until well combined.
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet:
- Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the florets are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.
5. Roast the Cauliflower:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast the cauliflower for 20-25 minutes, or until the florets are tender and golden brown. Be sure to toss the cauliflower halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
6. Add Parmesan Cheese:
- After the cauliflower is roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the hot cauliflower florets.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
7. Serve:
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Transfer the Parmesan Garlic Roasted Cauliflower to a serving dish. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
- Serve immediately as a delicious side dish or snack.

Tips:

- Make sure to cut the cauliflower into even-sized florets to ensure they cook evenly.

- For an extra crispy texture, spread the florets out on the baking sheet so they are not touching each other.

- You can add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat.

- Consider tossing the florets halfway through the roasting process for an even golden brown color.

- Using freshly grated Parmesan cheese will give a better flavor compared to pre-grated varieties.

This Parmesan garlic roasted cauliflower is not only easy to prepare but also packed with flavor. The combination of garlic and Parmesan cheese adds a rich taste, while the roasting process brings out the natural sweetness of the cauliflower. Serve it as a side dish or a healthy snack, and enjoy every bite!
