Cauliflower and onion are tossed in olive oil and roasted to perfection before sprinkling a generous amount of parmesan cheese over top. This is one vegetable side dish you’ll be oohing and aahing over!
Vegetables really don’t get the credit they deserve as part of a well-prepared dinner. Everyone always raves over the roast and of course delicious dinner rolls, but you don’t hear a lot of oohing and aahing over the veggie side dish. People, it is time to appreciate your vegetables, especially ones as good as this dish.
We’ve decided that most cruciferous vegetables just need to be roasted. Brussel sprouts, broccoli, and cauliflower all just need some time in the oven with a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper, and don’t forget the parmesan cheese! Parmesan cheese is the icing on top of the cake when it comes to roasted veggies. Trust us, you’ll be raving about your veggies too once you’ve had this amazing roasted cauliflower!

Can I use frozen veggies for parmesan roasted cauliflower?
Yes! No need to thaw, you can roast cauliflower starting from frozen without any issue. So stock up on your bulk freezer veggies and get ready to make this time and time again! The cauliflower will be softer, but still delicious.
-
Can I substitute olive oil with a different fat?
Olive oil really is the best for roasting, and we highly recommend you stick with it. The only other good option we’ve found is ghee and avocado oil. All of these can withstand the high heat necessary to roast.

Storage and Reheating Instructions:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in a 400 degree oven on a baking sheet until warmed through: approximately 5-10 minutes.

I saw this and thought, hmmm, but tried it as I had cauliflower leftover from a veggie platter, OMG, this is my favorite side dish! After making it a few times, tried adding leftover broccoli florets, same time, same recipe…hubby loves it too, which is great, as hi is picky 🤣
Great too! Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful recipes!
Love them!
OMG, this is sooo good! I’ve made it several times in the las couple weeks, so yummy and good for you too! Last time I added broccoli florets, mmm so good! My. New favorite side, thanks so much for posting this!
Oh my goodness, I had no idea this would be so delicious! I was never a fan of cooked cauliflower, but had some leftover from a football game, raw with ranch dressing…saw this recipe and thought, what the heck!
It was incredible! Have made it 3 times in a week, sharing with neighbors and friends! Put a little Panko on top for added crunch, yum! Next time might throw some broccoli florets in! Love it!
Simple, yet so delicious !
Have made them two times since getting your recipe. It is delicious. This is the only way I will do cauliflower now.
Could you do these in an airfryer? If so, how long would you suggest?
I have never had a bad meal from the Stay at Home Chef. I recently got married and had no choice but to learn how to cook for myself and husband. The YouTube videos are a LIFE SAVER! It is so perfect that I am able to follow along with a video to see the consistency and what the food should look like as I am cooking.

Looks good and good to know to sprinkle the parmesan cheese after it has roasted!
I love cauliflower and this looks delicious!
This was not my favourite of yours. It's easy, simple, and relatively healthy… but I found that it had a bitter after taste. I would not make this again.
Wendy, what kind of onion did you use? I didn't find a bitter after taste at all. Any bitterness would have come due to product, not the recipe. Bitter cauliflower means it was poorly grown.
Oh, and if you are particularly sensitive to bitterness in cauliflower or broccoli, you can soak it in water for 30 minutes prior to using it in a recipe .That should reduce any bitterness.
What kind of Parmesan did you use? Be sure to use fresh parmesan. If you use that in the green can it can cause bitterness. Also, use olive oil but not next virgin olive oil–it can be bitter if using a high heat. .
