Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup Italian or plain breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 medium cauliflower head
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set it aside while you prepare the cauliflower.
Start by removing all the leaves from the cauliflower head and then cut it into florets, making sure they are all roughly the same size. If some florets are large, feel free to slice them in half for even cooking.
In a small bowl, melt the butter and then add the minced garlic. Give it a good stir to infuse the butter with that delicious garlicky flavor.
In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well to create a delightful breadcrumb mixture.
Now, it’s time to coat the cauliflower florets. Dip each piece into the melted butter first, ensuring it’s nicely coated, and then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to make sure the breadcrumbs adhere to the cauliflower.
Place each breaded cauliflower piece on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process until all the cauliflower florets are coated and arranged on the baking sheet.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 32 to 35 minutes or until the breading turns a beautiful golden brown. The roasted cauliflower will be tender and flavorful, ready to impress your taste buds!
