Our test kitchen made two batches of this roasted cauliflower recipe because we couldn’t stop eating it. It’s not just a side dish. Our cheesy roasted cauliflower can definitely be a main meal if you want. Add it to a green salad or serve it with some chicken breast and what you have is a fantastic low carb dinner.

When you’re making our cauliflower, make sure to adjust cooking times based on how big you cut the cauliflower florets. Larger florets require longer cooking times. If you like smaller bites of cauliflower, then you’re going to cook it for less time. What ever you decide to do, make sure to roast it until it has some crispy edges because that’s what make it super duper delicious. We love the cheesy, burnt crispy bits on everything!
