ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH GARLIC & PARMIGIANO CHEESE


Cauliflower is one of the super foods and is often an overlooked vegetable in our diets. It is rich in vitamins and minerals. It’s an excellent source of vitamin K which is critical in keeping your bones strong and arteries clear. Cauliflower is also anti-inflammatory and important for brain health. One more thing—roasted cauliflower is delizioso!


1 large head cauliflower, trimmed and broken into florets
3 T avocado oil or extra-light olive oil
½ cup Italian bread crumbs
2 cloves garlic, minced 
Zest and juice of ½ lemon
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 
1 T extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1 T chopped parsley, for garnish 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Place cauliflower florets into a large bowl.
Mix in the oil, bread crumbs, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and half of the grated cheese. 
Season to taste with salt and pepper. 

Pour into a casserole dish.
Place in oven and roast for 30 minutes.
Stir after 15 minutes.

Remove from oven and sprinkle with the remaining grated cheese.
Drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
