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

I don’t really like cauliflower, but I gave this a try. OUTSTANDING!!
Looking forward to more “everyday” recipes if this is an example!

Never thought of adding onions, so I need to try this. One addition to my roasted cauliflower is about a teaspoon of Trader Joe’s 21 Seasoning Salute. You should try it…awesome flavors! Thanks for this version.

I made this with a tender juicy steak, and the cauliflower stole the show!! I WILL make this again…and again…and again. No doubt. So glad to have a new substitute to my usual broccoli pairing with everything. Excellent and easy recipe.

I have that same broccoli issue. This is a good change of pace.
Thanks for the note.

Your pics look delicious! All roasted veggies should include almost burnt caramelized onions and cheese :) I’ve got all of the ingredients on hand and can’t wait to make this recipe.
