Ingredients: Difficulty Rating: Easy
· 6 - 8 cups of cauliflower florets cut into pieces about 2” in diameter. I used 3 heads of cauliflower in this picture because I found white, orange and purple cauliflower at a local farmers market and they were so pretty! But 1 medium head is usually enough as a side dish for 4 or 5 people.
· ¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
· 2 medium sized cloves of garlic – finely diced
· Juice from ½ lemon (about 2 Tablespoons)
· 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
· ½ teaspoon freshly grated white pepper. If you don’t have this you can use freshly grated black pepper or even cayenne if you want an extra kick
· ¼ cup freshly grated Parmigianino Reggiano cheese
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Put the cauliflower florets into a an oven safe pan or baking dish that is large enough to hold all the cauliflower in a single layer.
Sprinkle the garlic, salt and pepper over the cauliflower.
Drizzle the lemon juice and olive oil over the cauliflower.

White, Orange and Purple Cauliflower
Delicious, Healthy AND Pretty! |
Toss to make sure it is all covered.
Cook for about 7 minutes, take it out of the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmigianino Reggiano over the cauliflower.
Return to the oven and cook for another 7 minutes. Remove it from the oven and test it. A fork should be able to go into the cauliflower easily – but it shouldn’t be so soft that it’s mushy.
Serve while warm.
