Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Make sure the cauliflower florets are roughly 1 inch wide, and arrange them on the baking sheet.

Drizzle the cauliflower with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

Use a rubber spatula to toss the cauliflower until it is evenly coated in the oil.

Roast on middle rack of oven for 12 minutes.

Open the oven and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the cauliflower florets and toss gently with a rubber spatula. Continue roasting until the cauliflower is crisp-tender and the cheese is slightly browned, 10-12 minutes.

Check to see that cauliflower is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Floret Size Matters 🥦
Cut or break cauliflower florets into uniform, bite-sized pieces to ensure even roasting and consistent caramelization.
Maximize Parmesan Crispiness 🧀
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese in the last 3-4 minutes of roasting to create a golden, crispy cheese crust without burning.
Prevent Soggy Edges 💨
Use a large baking sheet and spread florets in a single layer with space between them to allow moisture to evaporate and achieve perfect roasted texture.
Oil Distribution Technique 🫒
Toss cauliflower in oil using a large bowl with a lid or sealed plastic bag to ensure every piece is evenly coated for optimal browning.
Seasoning Pro Tip 🧂
Season cauliflower just before roasting to prevent salt from drawing out moisture, which can lead to steaming instead of roasting.
