The cauliflower craze might seem…well, crazy, but once you try Garlic Roasted Parmesan Cauliflower, you’ll be totally on board. Cauliflower has a natural mildness and tenderness that blends easily with other flavors such as sweet and savory garlic and sharp parmesan. Coated in crunchy baked breadcrumbs, Garlic Roasted Parmesan Cauliflower is just as satisfying as any fried fare. This is a healthy side to serve alongside burgers or creative sandwiches.
