Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower is a super simple side dish recipe that comes together quickly and pairs perfectly with everything!

Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower is my newest baked veggie obsession! This simple side dish is so easy to make with virtually no clean-up!

Not only is this a delicious vegetable side dish, but it can also double as a vegetarian chicken nugget! Winning!

One of my favorite easy side dishes to make during the week are my Parmesan Roasted Potatoes.

I am not kidding when I say that I make them at least 3 times a month. And that’s saying a lot for a food blogger, who has a high turn-over of recipe testing.

MY OTHER RECIPES

It hit me the other day that, if I like roasted cauliflower AND my parmesan roasted potatoes, why not try to make the same recipe, but with a little twist of cauliflower?

I mean, less carbs on a weekday is never a bad thing, right?

You guys – I made a whole head of cauliflower and between my and my 4 kids, we devoured every last bite.

Here’s the best part – There are virtually no dishes to clean up!

I place my cauliflower florets in a large zip close bag, add a little olive oil, toss to coat and then add the rest of the ingredients.

Shake it all up and pour it onto a lightly greased, foil lined pan.

Pop it in the oven and roast away!

I can’t even tell you how much I LOVE this stuff.

I made a whole head of cauliflower the next day for lunch… for just me…

Yeah.

Ingredients

7 cups cauliflower florets, cut to bite sized pieces
3 to 4 tbsp olive oil
1 cup Italian bread crumbs
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray liberally with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
Combine the cauliflower and olive oil in a large zip close bag and shake to coat.
Add the remaining ingredients to the bag and shake until coated, pressing slightly to help the breading stick. Pour onto the baking sheet and spray the tops of the cauliflower with cooking spray and bake for 20 minutes. Stir the cauliflower and continue to bake an additional 10 minutes. Serve hot. Enjoy!

Do you know how many carbs and cholesterol this recipe has?

I saw this on Facebook and was intrigued. We used to have cauliflower regularly but only steamed with parmesan cheese on, and to be honest it got kind of boring to me so we haven't used it much, but we do make broccoli and Brussels sprouts often. If I wanted to do all three at once, would I need to adjust the recipe or cooking time?

  You could get away with cooking them all at the same time, just make sure they're all similar in size so they can cook through. :)

Absolutely AMAZING!!! I've made this several times and it's gone in no time! Definitely a keeper and definitely want to try with Brussels sprouts!

If you have any leftovers, serve them for breakfast warmed over with a poached egg on top. It sounds weird but it is delicious.

If you want less carbs, don't use the bread crumbs. Try almond flour of the coconut flour instead.

Fantastic recipe, just lovely. ...as to the bags, when I need to use a bag I use two and throw the extra one away just for good measure. Bag factory workers need jobs too and kids are starving in China. Also, I heard that plastic waste makes liberals cry. #MAGA #LOCKHERUP

  Dadguy, this is a recipe site and not a political site. Shame on you for getting ugly! Maybe you are hangry so start cooking and feel better.

  Wow. I bet you think you’re funny. Can’t someone just post a recipe without this drivel?

For those complaining about "single use" plastics, what os wrong with washing the bag and reusing it? I find that coating in the bag is a lot neater and more thorough than in a bowl.

  It's really very sad in a sort of sick way when you are so vested in your political views that you have to force them off on the unsuspecting readers if a recipe site.

Hey, I’m making this for the first time. How many heads of cauliflower does it take to make 7 cups? I googled it. 3-4 per head but was curious how much you personally use. I’d rather get the “experienced” answer. Either way..I’m going to eat WAY more than I should of this! Lol I love cauliflower

  I have fixed this 3 times for 2-4 people. I used 1 head as it came very close to 7 cups. It is the best cauliflower recipe I have ever used. It is not hard at all.

I made it tonight, and it was delicious. I only had about of a half a cup of panko, added some sliced zucchini in with it, and it was a hit.

I was looking for good cauliflower recipes to substitute potatoes. My hubby is on a carb diet. I left out the breadcrumbs and made it with powdered and fresh Parmesan, added smoked paprika and pepper for color. Came out delish! What she means is a gallon size ziplock for mixing. Works great!

  Thank you. I am starting a low carb diet and was wondering if this could be made without the bread crumbs. :)

For those complaining about the plastic bag you could have just been nice and not said anything. You can use a bowl. Most people realize you can use a bowl in place of a bag! Btw the recipe is great!

I'm not sure why you'd use a plastic bag to make this... (single use plastics?!) You could easily use a bowl, but since that I was shown I'm sure most will think they need to.

Can this be done in an air fryer?
