Oven Roasted Cauliflower

A favourite vegetable in this house is cauliflower. My boys eat it up everytime. I like to try new recipes and/or methods of preparing it, just to mix things up a little. This recipe is a keeper. Give it a try and let me know what you think. I found the inspiration for it while scanning a recipe website (surprise - NOT allrecipes!). Enjoy!

Oven Roasted Cauliflower
  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (or juice from half a lemon)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • fresh cracked s&p
  • drizzle olive oil
  • 1/4 cup asiago cheese
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a shallow baking dish, or on a cookie sheet, arrange cauliflower florets in a single layer. Sprinkle on minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, s&p and a drizzle of EVOO. Lightly toss to combine and evenly coat.
2. Bake in preheated oven, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes or until tops of cauliflower is lightly browned.
3. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with asiago cheese. Serve and enjoy.

*You may notice that my recipes call for fresh cracked pepper AND salt. If you can, invest in a salt grinder in addition to your pepper mill. Fresh cracked sea salt is much tastier than regular table salt!*
