I just found this delicious recipe from skinnytaste.com (one of my favs!) and thought I'd share it with you all:


Garlic Roasted Cauliflower with Toasted Asiago Bread Crumbs


Cauliflower, tossed with a little olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper then roasted in the oven transforms this powerful cruciferous vegetable into a nutty, delicious side dish, especially when topped with toasted bread crumbs.

You can even add a little color to your plate by choosing a hue other than white—cauliflower now comes in a variety of colors from orange to green to purple. Not only does it contain disease-fighting antioxidants, but it also offers a healthy helping of vitamin C, folate and fiber.

Calories: 130 • Fat: 7.5 g • Carb: 11.5 g • Fiber: 3 g • Protein: 5 g • Sugar: 0.5 g
Sodium: 191 mg (without salt)
Ingredients:

1 (1 1/2 lb) head of cauliflower, cut into florets (about 6 heaping cups)
5 - 6 cloves garlic, smashed
2 tbsp olive oil
salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste

For the topping:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, finely diced
1 large clove garlic, crushed
1/3 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
2 tbsp shredded Asiago cheese
1 tsp fresh thyme (or fresh herb of your choice)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 450°F. Place the cauliflower and garlic on a large baking sheet and toss with the oil, salt, and pepper. Bake until tender and browned, about 22 - 25 minutes, tossing every 6-8 minutes.


Meanwhile, heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add the oil, then the onion and sauté about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and sauté until the onions become golden brown. Reduce heat to low, add breadcrumbs; sauté until the breadcrumbs are light golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, careful not to burn. Turn off heat and stir in the thyme. When cool, add asiago cheese.

When the cauliflower is ready, remove from oven and top with the toasted bread crumbs.

    I love cauliflower - but sometimes it does not like me---I always eat it raw so maybe the secret is to cook it.

    Great recipe.

    It's also really good divided into florets, lightly oiled and salted, roasted to a golden brown and then dipped in BBQ sauce. Fave winter snack.

    I just made that last night along with the Garlic Lover's Roast Beef. Delicious!!!!! Definitely making it again. The bread crumb topping would be awesome on any roasted veggie.

    Do the same for roast cauli that you would for roast broccoli

    Roast as mentioned then squeeze lemon juice and lemon zest over it - add a sprinkling of parmesan and some basil leaves and BOOM! Best veg ever!
