Roasting cauliflower completely transforms it from a vegetable people are pretty sure they don’t like into something they just can’t get enough of.
Ingredients
8 cups 1-inch-thick slices cauliflower florets, (about 1 large head; see Tip)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 450°F
2. Toss cauliflower, oil, marjoram, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Spread on a large rimmed baking sheet and roast until starting to soften and brown on the bottom, 15 to 20 minutes. Toss the cauliflower with vinegar and sprinkle with cheese. Return to the oven and roast until the cheese is melted and any moisture has evaporated, 5 to 10 minutes more.
3. Tips & Notes: To prepare florets from a whole head of cauliflower, remove outer leaves. Slice off the thick stem. With the head upside down and holding a knife at a 45° angle, slice into the smaller stems with a circular motion—removing a “plug” from the center of the head. Break or cut florets into the desired size.
