Spicy Whole Roasted Cauliflower With Parmesan Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Roasting a whole head of cauliflower at high heat creates a caramelized coating that is extremely flavorful. This zesty recipe combines cumin, garlic, and coriander with a bit of olive oil and lemon juice for a vegetable dish that is both easy to prepare and healthy. The sprinkling of parmesan at the end while the cauliflower is warm allows the cheese to melt slightly, creating a bit of a gooey topping over the crispy crust. This recipe works great as an appetizer or for dinner paired with a green salad. It has been called a "Vegetarian steak, " As the thickness of the cauliflower wedges or slices is reminiscent of a grilled piece of meat. You can even swap out the seasonings for a steak rub or a mixture including worcestershire sauce to mimic the flavors of steak even more. This recipe is ideal if you (or a family member) are trying to cut down on red meat.
