Garlic Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower
This easy Garlic Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower is a perfect low-carb side dish for any occasion. It’s well-seasoned with garlic, black pepper, paprika, and Parmesan. I’m sure this will become one of your favourite cauliflower recipes to make.
Cauliflower is a great veggie to have as a side dish if you’re on a low-carb diet. It has a very similar texture to potatoes but without all the carbs that our bodies don’t like. It’s also full of vitamin C.
You may think that cauliflower is very plain on its own. But it’s super versatile, which means you can prepare and season it the way you enjoy! I really love roasted cauliflower and cauliflower rice in a salad.
Baked cauliflower goes well with Parmesan cheese and pretty much all spices you want to use such as curry, cumin, coriander, and of course, paprika. Also, cauliflower goes along with any type of meat.
Roasted Cauliflower Recipe:
One of the best ways to make cauliflower is to roast it. Then, you have the chance to use garlic, olive oil, paprika, and Parmesan, which brings this “not very flavourful” vegetable to a whole other level.
However, when you roast cauliflower, you need to spread the florets out into a single layer on the roasting pan. Otherwise, they’ll probably become soggy, and that is the last thing you want to happen to your roasted cauliflower.
Also, you can’t roast it more than 30 minutes. This Garlic Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower will probably be ready in 25 minutes or when the top is lightly brown. You’ll know if your cauliflower is cooked using a fork to test for doneness. It should easily pierce the cauliflower.
This Garlic Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower recipe is so good that even the picky eaters will ask for more. Believe me! And before serving this roasted cauliflower recipe, don’t forget to sprinkle more Parmesan cheese on top because you know cheese always adds so much more flavor to any dish. Hope you enjoy it!
