Cauliflower is not usually in the lineup for weekly vegetables in our house. The reason for that is that I seem to be the only one who really likes it. I felt like I needed to change that! I wanted to make something that everyone would not only eat but actually love! This recipe came together so easily that I couldn’t believe how good it taste! I now make this as an occasional afternoon snack or as part of a charcuterie board when we have company. It’s fairly effortless and has a phenomenal outcome. Getting veggies in my kids has never been easier.

Do I need to wash my cauliflower before eating it?

I would absolutely wash your cauliflower. I would cut off the leaves and cut the cauliflower however you want it. Then, throw it in a strainer and run water over it for around 1 minute. This will help get any dirt, germs, or otherwise unwanted stuff off your veggie and make it ready for eating or preparing!

What can I eat with roasted cauliflower?

The options are endless! Cauliflower, overall, isn’t too strong of a taste does great with a variety of dishes. We like to it with our Spicy Pork Chops, Pesto Bruschetta Chicken Bake, and our Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Panini. Since it coated with Italian breadcrumbs, it would be great with a variety of pasta dishes, pork loins, and with a great cut of steak!

Preheat the oven to 400 F.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Remove all leaves from cauliflower head and cut into florets, all about the same size.

Place the Italian breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese into two separate bowls.

First, dip each cauliflower piece into the butter. After the butter, completely cover with Italian breadcrumbs.

Place them on prepared baking sheet, with either parchment paper or a silicon mat. This steps just helps immensely with the clean up!
