There were many occasions back in my private chef days when people would be anti-veggies. I think that stems from not knowing how to cook them years ago and never growing to love them. Here's the deal - if you cook them right, you'll be hooked. Take my roasted potatoes for example - best potatoes ever. Brussels - obsessed. Adults love them, kids love them, everyone wins. Same goes for this Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower. It's roasted until the outside areas are caramelized and flavored with tons of onion, thyme, garlic, oil, salt and pepper. Simple but perfect. It's finished with a touch of Parmesan but you could easily leave that you if you're vegan or non-dairy.

Make it!! You won't be disappointed! Everything about it makes me happy - including peeling the individual cloves of garlic once they are roasted and slathering them on every piece of cauliflower. YES PLEASE!

ALSO - side note. If you make this on the regular like me, it's pretty freaking awesome when you dip the leftovers in hummus. Just saying.
