Italian Roasted Cauliflower image

This recipe is easy and delicious. I combined two different recipes to come up with this one. My original basic recipe was from my cousin, who, when growing up, cooked traditional Italian foods. I later came across another recipe that was similar, yet had some differences as well. I took what I thought was the best of both and combined them. This is the refined recipe. My husband is not fond of cauliflower, yet loves this recipe. Roasting the cauliflower not only brings out the best of it's flavor, but texture as well. I hope you will enjoy this as much as we do.

This recipe was a disaster! The cauliflower was burnt and the Parmesan cheese was too salty. I will not be making this again.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some garlic and onion powder to taste and it was much better. I also think it would be good with some roasted red peppers or sun-dried tomatoes.

This recipe was easy to follow and the cauliflower turned out great! I used a little less Parmesan cheese than the recipe called for and it was still plenty cheesy. I will definitely be making this again.
