Whole Roasted Cauliflower With Lemon Parmesan- 21 day fix Fixate

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large head cauliflower approx. 2lbs
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 clove garlic finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400° F.
  • Remove leaves from cauliflower; trim stem flush with base so it will sit flat. Set aside.
  • Add oil, lemon juice, Parmesan, parsley, garlic, and salt to a medium bowl; whisk to combine. Reserve 2 Tbsp. of oil mixture in a separate container; set aside.
  • Place cauliflower, stem-side up, in a large, oven-safe pot with a lid. Drizzle remaining oil mixture into openings where leaves were removed; baste all over the outside. Turn cauliflower stem-side down; evenly baste top. Cover; cook for 40 to 45 minutes, or until cauliflower begins to become tender.
  • Move cauliflower to a baking sheet; increase oven temperature to highest temperature. Bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until cauliflower is golden brown and tender-crisp.
  • Remove from oven; baste with reserved dressing before serving.
  • Cut into six equal portions and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you don’t have a pot that will work for this, you can wrap the cauliflower in aluminum foil instead. Just be sure to place it on a baking sheet to catch any leaking oil.
  • If you don’t get the timing just right, and the cauliflower is browned before it’s tender, turn the oven down to 350° F and roast until done.
