Steps:
- Using a food processor fitted with the steel blade, or a box grater, finely shred cauliflower (there should be about 6 cups). In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat butter, oil and seasoning blend over medium-high heat. When butter is melted, stir in cauliflower, working in batches if necessary. Cook, uncovered, until tender, 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally (there should be about 4 cups cauliflower "rice"). Add cheese; stir until well combined.

Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower head: Look for a head of cauliflower that is compact and heavy, with tight florets. Avoid heads that are loose or have signs of yellowing or bruising.
- 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.
- Toss the cauliflower with olive oil and seasonings: This will help the cauliflower to brown and caramelize in the oven. You can use any seasonings you like, but some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt and pepper.
- Roast the cauliflower at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy exterior and a tender interior. The ideal roasting temperature for cauliflower is 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Roast the cauliflower until it is tender and browned: The cauliflower is done roasting when it is tender when pierced with a fork and the florets are starting to brown. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
- Garnish the cauliflower with fresh herbs and cheese: This will add a pop of flavor and color to the dish. Some good options for garnishes include parsley, cilantro, or grated Parmesan cheese.
Conclusion:
Roasted cauliflower with Asiago and orange is a simple yet flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The cauliflower is roasted until tender and browned, and then tossed with Asiago cheese, orange zest, and toasted almonds. The result is a dish that is both delicious and nutritious.
