I don’t usually give 5’s to a side dish, but it’s deserved. A low five but still a five.

So today’s dog photos are a “blast from the past”. Just over two years ago. Ain’t they cute….

Preheat oven to 400 degrees convection or 425 conventional.

Wash and trim one head of fresh cauliflower. Trim into pieces no more than a 1-inch diameter. Add four tablespoons olive oil. Toss to coat. Sprinkle with one tablespoon garlic powder, two teaspoons kosher salt, one teaspoon onion powder and one teaspoon pepper.

Chop a medium onion into “peddles”.

Prep a large rimmed baking tray with a heavy coat of PAM. Add the cauliflower and sprinkle with the onion.

Bake for 35-40 minutes but stir every 15 – 20 minutes.

Sprinkle with 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese (fresh preferred) and bake another 10-12 minutes.
