    Welcome to My Kitchen Serenity!  Let's dig into this Spicy Roasted Cauliflower Recipe!

    Delicious, healthy cauliflower is kicked up a notch with this spicy seasoning blend.  Adjust the amount of heat to your preference.  This roasted cauliflower recipe is our favorite way to prepare cauliflower.   Net carbs per serving: 3.

    Roasting vegetables is one of my favorite ways to cook vegetables. When you roast them, it adds richness and delicious flavor.  Vegetables will be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

    Best Vegetables for Roasting

    Roasted root vegetables are delicious, however, almost any vegetable can be roasted in the oven.

    • Potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, etc.
    • Broccoli, cauliflower, corn on the cob, brussels sprouts, zucchini, yellow squash, spaghetti squash, etc.
    • Bell peppers, onions, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, etc.

    Ingredients

    see printable recipe card for detailed ingredient list and helpful information.

    Parmesan Cheese

    Minced Garlic

    Crushed Red Pepper

    Extra Virgin Olive Oil

    Salt & Pepper

    Instructions

    • Cut fresh cauliflower into bite-sized pieces.  Place into a bowl or plastic sealable bag.  Add olive oil and toss to coat.  Place cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet. 
    • Mix chopped garlic, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
    • Sprinkle seasoning mixture over all the cauliflower florets and toss to coat.
    • Roast in a 450 oven for about 20 minutes.  Remove pan from oven.  Turn on broiler.  Sprinkle cauliflower with parmesan cheese and return to oven.  Broil for about 2 minutes or until cauliflower is browned and cheese is nice and melty.

    Roasted Vegetable Variations

    Try this seasoning blend for other low carb roasted vegetable recipes.  Broccoli, mushrooms, and zucchini are all great low carb choices.

    Storing Leftovers

    Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.  I love these Bayco Glass Storage Containers because the lids lock in place.
