Description

A splash of lemon juice brightens things up, and the salty Parmesan cheese melts and clings to each floret, bringing out the nutty flavor of the roasted cauliflower.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 whole Cauliflower Head, Cut Into Florets
  • 1 Tablespoon Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
  • ¼ cups Finely Grated Parmesan
  • ¼ cups Italian Parsley (minced)
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste

Preparation

Coat the bottom of a large skillet with olive oil and arrange the cauliflower florets on top. Sprinkle in about 1 tablespoon of water, then cover with a tightly-fitting lid. Heat skillet on medium-high heat and sear the florets, checking color occasionally and shaking the pan when bottoms become golden brown.

Once cauliflower has roasted and become fork-tender, transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkling with lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to taste. Toss gently to coat, then sprinkle with a bit of minced parsley for a dash of color.

a sure sign that this dish was a hit…my hubby asking for seconds of it when he claims that he hates cauliflower!
