Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh cauliflower florets
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil substitute other fats
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- chopped fresh parsley optional for garnish
- fresh lemon optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Heat the baking sheet in the oven while the oven heats up.
- Combine the coconut oil, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper in a bowl.
- Add the cauliflower and mix with your hands to coat the cauliflower.
- Spread the cauliflower on a flat baking sheet and roast for 20-30 minutes, until edges are browned and caramelized and cauliflower is tender when pierced by a fork.
Notes
- Start checking the cauliflower at around 30 minutes to see if it is getting browned and crispy at the edges - make sure it doesn't burn.
- Line your baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easier cleanup and to ensure the crispiest results.
- For extra crispy results, heat your baking sheet in the oven for 10-15 minutes before adding the cauliflower.
- Make sure the cauliflower is cut in even pieces so it cooks evenly.
- Layer it in a single layer so it roasts quicker and easier.
- Ensure the cauliflower is fully coated in the oil for the best results.
