Roasted Cauliflower
ingredients
1 large head cauliflower
1 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
Salt and pepper to taste
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs (Japanese breadcrumbs available at specialty markets) or plain breadcrumbs
1 Tbsp. sliced almonds
1 tsp. Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. dried parsley
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
preparation
6 servings
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 17 minutes
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Discard the outer leaves of the cauliflower and remove the florets from the base. Cut the florets into medium-sized pieces.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the florets, turn off the heat, and let the cauliflower stand in the water for 2 minutes. Drain.
3. Add the cauliflower to a bowl and add half of the olive oil. Toss well.
4. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Arrange the cauliflower on the sheet in one layer.
5. Roast the cauliflower for 7 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the remaining olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, breadcrumbs, almonds, cheese, parsley, and oregano in a small bowl.
6. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the cauliflower and continue to roast for another 10 minutes until cauliflower and crumbs are lightly browned. Note: The breadcrumbs will not completely adhere to the cauliflower. When ready to serve, scrape the contents of the pan into a serving dish, sprinkling the crumbs on top of the cauliflower.
