Well, he didn't like it and I wasn't a huge fan either. I think I just don't like mushy cauliflower. When it is cooked, it loses it's bite and the crunch is the best part. I did however like it before I roasted it. Ha! I tasted a few pieces befor putting it in the oven and it was really good. I could have eaten the whole pan just like that as a snack. Maybe next time I'll just do that! It has a good flavor though, so if you liked cooked cauliflower, give it a try.
Oven-Roasted Cauliflower with Garlic, Olive Oil and Lemon Juice
Source: The Recipe Girl My additions/changes in italics
6 cups cauliflower florets (I just used a whole head)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp sliced garlic (I minced mine)
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp kosher salt (I used sea salt)
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 tbsp parmesan cheese
chopped chives, for garnish (I used some dill I had instead)
Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
Place the cauliflower in a roasting pan (I used a rimmed baking sheet). Drizzle with olive oil and season with garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Toss to coat cauliflower. Place in oven and cook 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and garnish with chives. Serve while warm.
