With the holidays coming I like to have some good side dish recipes at the ready for special meals and this crispy parmesan roast cauliflower is definitely on my short list! This side is so easy to make! You simply spread some parmesan cheese over the bottom of a baking dish, press the cauliflower florets into the parmesan and roast until the cauliflower is just tender crisp and the parmesan has melted and turned a nice golden brown. When the cheese cools a bit it gets nice and crispy; just like the cheese that oozes out of the sides of your grilled cheese sandwich and gets all sorts of nice and crispy and good! Yum! You can roast a few different veggies like this and cauliflower is my favourite and it’s a great option for low-carbers. If you’re looking for a side dish recipe over the holiday’s you really can’t go wrong with this tasty crispy parmesan roast cauliflower!

In a pinch , if I don’t have fresh, can I use frozen?
Can’t wait to try this. I mainly wanted to post and say thank you for using sheet pans that look like mine. It’s nice to see something that looks like it is actually used in the kitchen.
mine look the same too!
No stirring halfway thru cooking time?
No, there is no stirring halfway through. You want the cheese to be on the bottom the whole time to turn a nice golden brown and get crispy.
