Ingredients
  

  • 1 large head cauliflower
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes if desired
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Combine the melted butter, garlic and spices, stir well. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the mixture for later. Pour the remaining garlic butter mixture in an 2 quart baking dish or 11x7 baking dish. Tilt the pan back and forth so it coats the bottom of the pan.
  • Sprinkle the parmesan over the garlic butter, making sure to completely coat the bottom of the dish.
  • Add the cauliflower, flat side down on top the parmesan and garlic butter. Drizzle or brush the remaining tablespoon of the reserved garlic butter over the top of the cauliflower florets.
  • Roast the cauliflower for 20-25 minutes. The cauliflower is done when it is fork tender and the bottom side is crispy and golden brown.
