Roasted Cauli-Parm Side-Dish


Roasting isn't usually the first cooking method you think of for cauliflower but the results are quite delicious. The florets are tossed with coconut oil and fresh herbs. A deep browning occurs that results in a sweet, nutty flavor.

Ingredients

1 large head of organic cauliflower (1-inch-thick slices)
2 tablespoons organic coconut oil (melted)
1 teaspoon each fresh basil, oregano, cilantro, thyme
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese

Preparation

1.Preheat oven to 450°F.
2.Toss cauliflower,oil,herbs,salt and pepper in a large bowl. Spread on a large rimmed baking sheet and roast until starting to soften and brown on the bottom, 15 to 20 minutes.
3.Toss the cauliflower with vinegar and sprinkle with cheese. Return to the oven and roast until the cheese is melted and any moisture has evaporated, 5 to 10 minutes more.

For a quick variety to this recipe, you can easily add broccoli to the dish as well...follow the same preparation directions...be creative and this will quickly become a family favorite I promise you this...

Enjoy!!
