Baked Garlic Parmesan Cauliflower Technique

Roasted Garlic Parmesan Cauliflower Recipe – crispy cauliflower bites with garlic Parmesan breading, baked in the oven instead of fried. So tasty!
Roasting cauliflower is my favorite way of preparing it. This under-rated vegetable has so much to offer and roasting it definitely tops the list. It brings out its delicious flavor and paired with garlic, Parmesan and breadcrumbs create an irresistible dish. To make crunchy breaded cauliflower bites, you can use one of two methods. The final result is irresistible crunchy cauliflower bites!

This Roasted Garlic Parmesan Cauliflower is the best idea for a side dish featuring this vegetable. Aside from turning it into a vegetarian, healthy Alfredo sauce, or mashed cauliflower of course.

HOW TO MAKE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER?

To make the best-roasted cauliflower, first cut the cauliflower head into florets, roughly the same size. You can slice the big florets in half if needed. You can either toss the cauliflower with olive oil or melted butter and then sprinkle with the breading mixture and stir to coat. I use this method in my The Best Roasted Broccoli recipe. The other option, that helps prevent any breading from falling off the cauliflower pieces, is to dip each floret into melted butter and then into the breading mixture. I use this method in my Baked Artichoke Hearts recipe and it’s perfect!

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO ROAST CAULIFLOWER IN THE OVEN?

Time of baking cauliflower in the oven depends on the size of the pieces. If you cut the cauliflower head into florets, bite-size pieces, you need to preheat the oven 400 degrees F for 25 to 27 minutes, or until the breading is golden brown. Whole cauliflower will take longer and the timing again will depend on how big the cauliflower head is. For average size head, it may take anywhere from 40 to 50 minutes. Cauliflower steaks take about 15 minutes of baking time.

Recipe Notes
This cauliflower can be served as a side dish or an appetizer along with a dipping sauce, like Ranch. This breading method prevents the coating mixture from falling off the cauliflower pieces. You can also pour the melted butter over cauliflower bites in a bowl and toss gently to coat. Then sprinkle with the breading mixture and stir to coat. Bake as instructed in the recipe above.
