Thanks Margie for trying this Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower recipe.
We love roasted cauliflower too. My husband isn’t a cauliflower fan, he says he only likes it if it doesn’t taste like cauliflower. :-) So, besides cauliflower fried rice or pizza, roasted cauliflower is his favorite. I used this parmesan and basil olive oil I have and it’s so delicious. I also like how you added parmesan cheese. I’d never done that before. It was perfect!
Unusually delicious!!!
I have made this almost every week for 2 months. My husband hates cauliflower. No anymore!!!
This looks sooo good, I love cauliflower and have some left over in my fridge so I might just make this tonight ;)
If u want a little kick add a squeeze or 2 of siracha to the butter and olive oil mixture! Delicious ?
