Recipe for Roasted Cauliflower

This roasted cauliflower recipe is super easy and a favorite side dish in many families. When vegetables are roasted, a great flavor results with a nice tender inside remaining.

This roasted cauliflower recipe has an optional butter coating as a final step which makes it extra flavorful for special occasions. Serve immediately after roasting, or toss in butter and serve. It just depends on your taste.

Parmesan cheese is another delicious option. We like to simply roast when we are having this at home with a regular dinner, but when company comes over we add the butter and Parmesan steps to make it extra delish!
