Always love how roasted cauliflower comes out - the flavor is so much better than other methods of preparation. The only departure I made was to add the lemon after baking to make sure the cauliflower could really brown. Yum! -
Made for your Football Pool win & this recipe was a big winner for us. I am not good at the drizzle thing, so I used my pastry brush to move the florets around & evenly coat them w/the olive oil. DH is salt-restricted, so I used a generous amt of lemon pepper like another reviewer (& extra garlic too). This "blomkal" (Icelandic for cauliflower) was served w/a BBQ meatloaf made for the Quest event & will encore soon at our table. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us & congrats on you FP win. -
I used orange cauliflower from the farmers market and it turned out very yummy but mine needed a good 45 minute bake in order to get even a bit soft. I wonder if it's because of the cauliflower type. Either way, I'm definitely gonna do that again. Thank you. -
Mmmm, loved the lemon in this. I cut the florets up tiny, cause I love the little brown bits. I loved the garlic too, it smelled so good while it was baking. :) -
Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup tag game Jan-June 2012...this was quite tasty. Made as written and we really enjoyed the sprinkling of parmesan cheese. Will make this again. Thank you for posting.

The only change I made when preparing this dish was to season it with lemon pepper instead of the usual S&P, something I like to do especially when a recipe includes garlic & lemon! This roasted cauliflower was most satisfying & although I left the Parmesan cheese off mine, my other half got the full benefit of it! Thanks for sharing this very nice recipe!
