Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large clove garlic minced
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2-3 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Wash cauliflower and chop head into bite sized florets, discarding the core. Add cauliflower to large bowl.
  3. In a microwaveable cup or small bowl, combine butter, garlic powder, salt, minced garlic, and black pepper and microwave until butter is melted. Stir well to combine.
  4. Pour butter mixture over prepared cauliflower florets and stir well to combine. Spread seasoned cauliflower on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese, if desired.
  5. Bake in preheated 400 degree F oven. Remove pan from the oven after 15 minutes and using a spatula, flip the cauliflower so it will roast evenly. Return pan to oven and bake an additional 10-20 minutes (for a total of 25 -35 minutes roasting time), flipping again if needed, until cauliflower starts to darken slightly on the edges.

Recipe Notes

1. Variations on this recipe are endless. Substituting olive oil for the butter or using Italian seasons are a few ways you can change it up, but feel free to add your own style.
