Servings: 2 - 3
Calories: 496kcal
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 head cauliflower
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese divided, not packed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425℉. Line a half-sheet pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Add the butter and garlic to a small sauce pan. Heat slowly over low heat until the butter is melted. Allow the garlic to infuse the butter, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, remove the core from the cauliflower and separate the florets into bite-sized pieces. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the butter over the cauliflower, using a strainer to catch the garlic. Toss to coat. Add ½ cup of the Parmesan cheese and toss to coat.
- Transfer to the prepared pan. Spread into an even layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are slightly caramelized.
- Top the hot cauliflower with the remaining cheese. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Freshly grated cheese melts SO MUCH better than cheese sold in a tub already grated/shredded.
- I like to use a microplane to grate the Parmesan. It creates a light, fine texture that melts so beautifully.
- Serve the cauliflower immediately. The texture is best right out of the oven. If reheated, the crispness will be compromised.
