I really liked how the cauliflower roasted up in this recipe. It still had great texture but was also quite tender. I had mine in the oven for about 20 minutes.

The simplicity of the dish and ingredients is proof that well prepared vegetables can hold their own against fussier versions. I loved this one and thought it was the perfect accompaniment to Recipe #72476. The cauliflower was cooked perfectly, tender without being mushy, and the sharpness of the cheese served a great accent. Use really good fresh grated cheese as it is worth the effort. My only change might be to reduce the salt just a wee bit since the cheese also adds saltiness in the dish. Made for Zaar Stars.

I just love roasted cauliflower! I cut it in little bits so I get lots of browned pieces. Great recipe! THanks! Made for Everyday is a Holiday game.

Added garlic. Cooked at 400 for 30 minutes. Delicious!

Delish. I actually added 3 carrots to the cauliflower (hey, why not). We ate this as a filling vegetarian dinner last night with a side of kale chips. I used fresh shaved parm and that really sent this over the top!!! Of note, I cooked mine at 400 for about an hour (because my stove sets off the smoke alarm if I cook anything above 400 ARGHHHHH). I read a couple of reviews and folks said to leave the cauliflower the side of ping pong balls because they shrink up so much. . .so that's what I did. . .and honestly I would have appreciated them a little smaller so that they would be a bit more crispy around the edges!!! I did give them a sprinkling of lemon pepper instead of regular pepper. THANKS!
