Sometimes you just have to think up another way to serve up Cauliflower. This is a not too heavy but easy way to prepare flavorful Cauliflower. All you need for serving is some grilled meat, some bread and your set for a meal.
Ingredients for around 4 servings.
1 medium cauliflower – broken down in bite sized florets
2 Calabrian Chili peppers – fine chopped
1 large or 2 small garlic cloves – shredded
4 Tablespoons marinara sauce -preferably fresh made and flavorful
1 cup parmesan cheese – grated
black pepper – fresh ground to taste
non stick spray
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
pinch dried oregano – for finishing
pinch dried basil – for finishing
1 teaspoon fresh marjoram – chopped – for finishing
1 teaspoon fresh celery leaves – chopped – for finishing
Directions
Set oven to 350 degrees F.
Spray baking sheet(s) with non stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl combine the cauliflower, peppers, garlic, marinara, parmesan and black pepper. toss ingredients till they look mixed.
Pour the cauliflower mixture on to the sprayed baking sheets. The florets should be separate but not too far apart because some of the cheese mixture will stay in the bowl and you have to scrape it out and redistribute the cheese over the cauliflower.
Sprinkle the olive oil over the cauliflower and put in oven till cauliflower is cooked. (About 35 minutes……. but it could be more like 30 minutes up to 45 minutes depending on your oven and how you cut the cauliflower.) I know when I have many pans in oven it takes even longer like an hour.
When the cauliflower is done sprinkle it with the remaining dry herbs and the fresh herbs to serve.
