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 AND PARMESAN ROASTED CAULIFLOWER



BALSAMIC AND PARMESAN ROASTED CAULIFLOWER image

Categories     Cauliflower

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients
1 head(s) cauliflower, large, (8 cups 1-inch-thick slices), florets
2 tablespoon oil, olive, extra-virgin
1 teaspoon marjoram, dried
1/4 teaspoon salt
pepper, black ground, freshly ground, to taste
2 tablespoon vinegar balsamic
1/2 cup(s) cheese, Parmesan, finely shredded

Steps:

  • Preparation 1. Preheat oven to 450°F. 2. Toss cauliflower, oil, marjoram, salt and pepper. Roast on a large rimmed baking sheet until starting to soften and brown on the bottom, 15 to 20 minutes. 3. 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 has tightly packed florets. Avoid heads with brown spots or blemishes.
  • Cut the cauliflower into even-sized florets: This will help them roast evenly. If the florets are too large, they may not cook through in the same amount of time as the smaller ones.
  • Toss the cauliflower with olive oil, salt, and pepper: This will help them brown and caramelize in the oven.
  • Roast the cauliflower at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Stir the cauliflower halfway through roasting: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Serve the cauliflower immediately: Roasted cauliflower is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. You can drizzle it with balsamic vinegar, sprinkle it with Parmesan cheese, or add your favorite herbs and spices.

Conclusion:

Roasted balsamic cauliflower is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
