salt and papper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (150 °C).
2. Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower and chop the cauliflower into about ½ inch slices like bread. Don’t worry if there are smaller pieces as they work perfectly well with this dish!
3. Place the cauliflower pieces on a baking tray.
4. Put all the marinade ingredients in a bowl, and mix together well with a fork.
5. Evenly distribute the marinade over top the cauliflower covering as much cauliflower as possible.
6. Bake on the middle/low rack in the oven for 30-40 minutes.
7. Remove from the oven and eat while hot!
8. This side accompanies your favorite meal of any type!
9. French roasted cauliflower refrigerates well for 4-5 days and can be reheated in the microwave or sprinkled with a little water and warmed on low heat in the oven.
Bon Appétit!
Notes
• Cheese: Replace the parmesan cheese with cheddar or French-it-up with shredded French Compté to replace the parmesan cauliflower.
• Honey: This honey cauliflower recipe can be changed by substituting honey with maple syrup, agave syrup, or even brown sugar.
• Paprika: Switch this out for chili power which adds a slightly spicy kick to the roasted honey cauliflower.
To get nice steak-like cauliflower pieces to be able to lather on that cheesey sauce here are some good tips.
• Choose a large, firm cauliflower head.
• Keep the stem intact as it holds the cauliflower slices together.
• Slice from the center outward.
• Use a sharp knife as it makes clean cuts.
• Save those loose florets that fall, we still need those!
