First off, I can't take credit for this recipe. I got it from Rachael Ray. It is the BEST cauliflower recipe ever! My kids don't eat veggies and we eat the entire head of cauliflower with this recipe! (YES it's that good!)
4 cloves garlic, halved
About 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets (the smaller the better)
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons fresh thyme
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese (must get this cheese, you can substitute, but this is the best!)
DIRECTIONS: Pre-heat the oven to 400°F.
In a small pot, combine the garlic and EVOO; heat over a low flame and gently cook until the garlic is light golden in color and very fragrant, about 10-15 minutes. Remove the garlic cloves and reserve.
Pile the cauliflower on a baking sheet and dress with the lemon juice, about 3-4 tablespoons of the garlic-infused oil and the thyme, salt and pepper.
Toss to combine and spread the florets out in a single layer. Roast to brown at the edges and until tender, 20-25 minutes.
Cover with the Parmigiano Reggiano and roast for 5 minutes more.
