Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Slice the head of the cauliflower in half from the top of the crown through to the stem. Cut out the core of each of the halves and remove the leaves. Trim the cauliflower into large florets, then into smaller florets. Use the knife or break with your fingers. Cut the florets into roughly the same size, with each floret displaying at least one cut side that lays flat on the baking sheet to become caramelized.
  • Scatter the cauliflower on a high sided baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle the cauliflower with Italian seasoning, kosher salt and black pepper and toss to coat. In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, panko bread crumbs, and parsley. Set aside.
  • Lay the florets on a baking sheet in an even layer, cut side down. Bake for 15 minutes. Flip half way through cooking time if desired. Sprinkle the Parmesan mixture over the cauliflower and bake for 5-10 minutes or more, or until the cheese is melted and beginning to brown. Serve warm, and be sure to scrape up all of the little crispy bits to enjoy.
