Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cauliflower head Medium size
  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 2 Garlic cloves 
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs Fresh are always better if you have time, otherwise store-bought works! You can use plain breadcrumbs flavored with Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese Parmesan cheese is always best when fresh as well - and buying the cheese grated makes it easy.
  • salt - to taste approximately 1/4 tsp
  • pepper - to taste approximately 1/4 tsp
  • basil (optional) for garnish
  • Ranch dressing for dipping...if you serve as an appetizer

Instructions

  • Remove all leaves from cauliflower head and wash well.
  • Cut cauliflower into florets of similar size and place in large bowl.
  • Melt butter and in a small bowl in microwave.
  • Mince the garlic and stir into the butter.
  • In a separate bowl, mix breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese.
  • Pour butter sauce over cauliflower pieces, mixing well. Then pour breadcrumbs over all, mixing altogether.
  • Place breaded pieces of cauliflower on your prepared baking sheet and roast in your preheated oven for 30- 35 minutes, or until the breading turns a golden brown.
  • Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with basil if desired, serve and enjoy! If using as an appetizer, serve with ranch dressing (or another favorite dipping sauce!).
