This Parmesan roasted cauliflower recipe is from Bon Appetit magazine, a recipe that I have wanted to make for a long time. I love cauliflower, especially cauliflower baked in the oven. Cauliflower is sweet in nature, and after roasting and baking in the oven, the cauliflower caramelizes, making it one of the best roasted vegetables ever.
Fresh off the oven, these cauliflowers tasted utterly delicious. They were slightly burned and caramelized, I could taste the fresh and natural sweetness from the cauliflower. The savory Parmesan cheese completed the taste. I devoured them. When little G came back from school he was hungry for snack. I gave him two pieces of the roasted cauliflower; he was instantly hooked and asked for more. Now, that makes me happy as I found another new vegetable recipe that he would actually eat.

Thank you Bee for the nice recipe.
This Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower is about to change my brother’s point of view. No more suffering dinner time trying to spoon-feeding vegetables. Thank you so much!
Hi Elena, yes, my son has been begging for it every day. I am a happy mom. LOL.
Tastiest cauliflower ever. Nice, crisp on the outside and tender inside. Followed the directions, but noticed that after only about 20 minutes at 425, the cauliflower was getting very dark and it was already tender. Is 425 correct? We stopped at 20 minutes, added cheese and finished it off 5 minutes per recipe. Delicious!
Yes, I followed the recipe from Bon Appetit, but I put in the middle tray. Thanks for trying the recipe glad that it turned out great for you. :)
They look scrumptious! Did roasting cause them to be flat or is each floweret sliced through?
Yes sliced through horizontally.
We had these tonight and they were great! Mine only need 20 minutes to cook before I added the Parmesan cheese. I loved that they had a natural sweetness to them. I’ll post about them on my weekly meal recap on my blog.
Thanks Dana.
Delicious! will definitely make again. Thanks

Awww Amanda, thanks for trying this recipe.
Thank you Bee for the nice recipe.
This looks delicious, Bee (what a cool name, btw)! Thanks so much for sharing, something tells me I’ll be eating cauliflower much more often from now on…
Do these store well for snacking or should this only be served right away as a side dish?
You can serve it as a side dish. It doesn’t taste as good after they turn cold.
Hey there! Love how simple and yummy this recipe is. Hope you don’t mind I linked to it on my blog: http://ketogasm.com/cauliflower-low-carb-vegetable/
I already love cauliflower just steamed and lightly buttered; now I’m going to try it this way, and if it’s as good as it looks and sounds, I’ve got myself a new way to eat that beloved veggie :-)
This Parmesan roasted cauliflower is very very good. Try it.
Do you have the nutritional information and serving size on this? Thank you!
I will soon have the nutritional information, please stay tuned.
This is a superb recipe, it tastes as good as it looks. I threw in onions once (eww, don’t do it!) and have tried it with garlic. My husband can hardly wait till it’s out of the oven. Thanks for my new, very favorite cauliflower recipe!
Hi Donna, I agree! My picky eater 5 years old eat so much of these parmesan roasted cauliflower every week! :)
Thank you for a new way to enjoy cauliflower! Delicious!
This looks amazing! How are the flowerets sliced? They look flat here. Are they cut off or each sliced down through?
I tried this for my 86 year old mother, she loved it .She ate a cereal bowl full. I did add a little red crushed pepper.
Thanks for trying my recipe.
I am going to try this today- your food looks so good! Thank you for sharing :)
