Cause it's good for you, damn it!!


Oven Roasted Cauliflower with Parm, Lemon & Garlic
Adapted from a recipe I found in a church cookbook, circa 1975

6 to 8 servings

Ingredients
1 large head of cauliflower, cut into small florets
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon+ sliced garlic
2 tablespoons lemon juice (juice of 1 lemon)

1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Chopped chives, for garnish



Directions
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.

Place the cauliflower florets in a large saute pan or a roasting pan. Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower, and season with the garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Place the saute/roasting pan in the oven and cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even roasting(I did this every 5 minutes). Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Garnish with chopped chives/green onion and serve immediately while still warm.

Excellent with steak or fish as an alternative to potatoes.
