BALSAMIC & PARMESAN ROASTED CAULIFLOWER



Balsamic & Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower image

This easy and delicious recipe is from EatingWell Magazine. The florets are cut into thick slices and tossed with extra-virgin olive oil and herbs. Wherever the flat surfaces come into contact with the hot roasting pan, a deep browning occurs that results in a sweet, nutty flavor. You can easily halve the recipe or change up the herbs to suit your taste and mood. TIP: 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.

BALSAMIC & PARMESAN ROASTED CAULIFLOWER



BALSAMIC & PARMESAN ROASTED CAULIFLOWER image

Categories     Vegetable

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 cups 1-inch-thick slices cauliflower florets, (about 1 large head; see Tip)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. 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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower. Look for a head of cauliflower that is compact and heavy for its size, with tightly packed florets. Avoid heads with any brown or yellow spots, as these are signs of age or damage.
  • Cut the cauliflower into even-sized florets. This will help them cook evenly. If the florets are too large, they may not cook through, and if they are too small, they may overcook and become mushy.
  • Roast the cauliflower at a high temperature. This will help to caramelize the florets and give them a crispy exterior. If you roast the cauliflower at a low temperature, it will take longer to cook and may become soggy.
  • Season the cauliflower with salt and pepper before roasting. This will help to enhance the flavor of the cauliflower. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Toss the cauliflower with olive oil before roasting. This will help to prevent the cauliflower from sticking to the pan and will also help it to brown evenly.
  • Roast the cauliflower for 20-25 minutes, or until it is tender and slightly browned. Be sure to stir the cauliflower halfway through cooking so that it cooks evenly.
  • Serve the cauliflower immediately.Roasted cauliflower is best served hot, but it can also be served cold. You can drizzle it with balsamic vinegar, sprinkle it with Parmesan cheese, or both.

Conclusion:

Balsamic and Parmesan roasted cauliflower is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it is also a good source of fiber and vitamins. The combination of balsamic vinegar and Parmesan cheese gives the cauliflower a sweet and savory flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table.
