Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
17 mins

In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and a generous pinch of sea salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 15 minutes. Add the chopped garlic, dried basil, dried thyme, and dried parsley. Stir to combine and cook for another minute until fragrant. (17 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Add the cauliflower florets to the skillet and toss well to coat them evenly with the herbed oil. Ensure the cauliflower is spread in a single layer for optimal roasting. (5 minutes)

04

Step
35 mins

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and lightly browned. (35 minutes)

05

Step
3 mins

Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle the roasted cauliflower with the freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately, allowing the cheese to melt slightly from the residual heat. (3 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the herbs.
Fresh herbs can be substituted for dried, use about 1 teaspoon of each, finely chopped.
Roasting time may vary depending on the size of the cauliflower florets and your oven. Keep an eye on it and adjust accordingly.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice after roasting brightens the flavors.
