Roasted Cauliflower

Did you know you can bake cauliflower in the oven? I will be honest, I just learned this.  I guess I just never thought about it before.  I can easily say this is one of my favorite veggies now.  It is safe to say that even those who really dislike veggies will like these.  My girls ate them and said they tasted like french fries and I realized they kind of do.  They are super easy too.

Roasted Cauliflower

• One head of cauliflower
• 1 T Olive oil
• Salt
• Garlic powder
• Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Cut cauliflower into individual florets and place on a cookie sheet.  Drizzle olive oil over cauliflower, sprinkle salt and garlic powder over it to taste. With a spatula toss cauliflower to evenly coat it with olive oil (you may do this in a bowl with a lid and shake it to get more even coverage, I just don't want to dirty extra dishes). With a fine cheese grater, grate Parmesan cheese over cauliflower.  Bake in oven for 20-25 min.  Serve immediately to preserve crunchiness. 

*There are many other possibilities for toppings. You can just do olive oil and salt; or olive oil, pressed or chopped garlic and lemon juice; olive oil, red pepper flakes and cheese etc. Have fun.
