Made this last night to serve with pesto and pasta (the basil will be gone soon...sniff) and it is breathtakingly wicked delicious. A new addition to "the house recipes" in an instant.
1 large head cauliflower
2 tbls. olive oil
1 tsp. dried marjoram (or preferred herb(s)
1/2 tsp. sea salt
freshly ground pepper
2 tbls. balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 450F.
Cut cauliflower into bit sized pieces (use the stem, it's good this way too). Toss with oil, salt, pepper, and herbs. Roast on a rimmed baking sheet, spreading cauliflower out evenly, for 15-20 minutes, or until it starts to soften and get light brown on the bottom with little specks of brown on the top.
Remove from oven and drizzle balsamic vinegar and toss. Scatter the cheese evenly over (I bunched everything tightly to do this, then spread it out a bit by shaking the pan to avoid putting all the cheese on the pan instead of the cauliflower).
Return to oven and roast for another 5-10 minutes. Watch and don't burn.
This is so good I'm making it again tonight.
Working at home today and so much prefer the facilities and company here. The cafeteria served sauteed shiitake, pesto, and swiss omelettes with toasted 6-grain homemade bread. The furry kitchen attendants are waiting to clean off my plate before it goes into the dishwasher. So thoughtful. smileys/smile.gif
