Ingredients

Farmers Market Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into bite-size florets

Grocery Store Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp panko breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated or shredded
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Gently wash produce under cool running water, pat dry, and prepare as directed.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Place the cauliflower on parchment paper on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Use clean hands to distribute the oil evenly.
  • Roast 20-30 minutes, or until browned at the edges.
  • Remove the tray from the oven.
  • In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and cheese. Sprinkle evenly over the cauliflower.
  • Return to the oven and roast until the cheese melts, 5-10 minutes.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

Cauliflower can also be cut into larger pieces and grilled instead of roasted.
Cut into uniform-size pieces to ensure even roasting.
Parchment paper makes for easy cleanup; you can also place the cauliflower directly on the baking sheet.
