Ingredients
Scale
- 2 heads cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place the cauliflower florets on a large baking sheet.
- Drizzle the florets with olive oil and sprinkle with minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the cauliflower is evenly coated.
- Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan for best crisping results.
- Roast for 15 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the hot cauliflower. Gently toss the florets on the pan.
- Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and the cheese is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately as a keto cauliflower recipe or side dish.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, use a large baking sheet so the florets have space and do not steam.
- If you want a stronger garlic flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder with the initial seasoning.
- This recipe works well with other hard cheeses like Pecorino Romano if you do not have Parmesan.
