cauliflower parmesan as a main or a side
I love this healthy cauliflower recipe. First, it is super easy to prepare, and you can feed a crowd in no time. This rich and flavourful gluten-free cauliflower dish can be served as a main with a salad or over rice, such as this Saffron Rice with Mint and Caramelized Onions, keeping it a vegetarian meal. Or, you can enjoy this roasted cauliflower as a side to your favourite protein.
MARINARA SAUCE
Honestly, this marinara cheese sauce is what this roasted cauliflower parmesan meal is all about. You will need a splash of extra virgin olive oil, fresh tomatoes, garlic, basil, milk or cream, and mozzarella cheese to make the sauce.
FRESH TOMATOES
The tomatoes are first briefly sautéed in heart healthy extra virgin olive oil with garlic and basil. Then the milk or cream with cheese is added and cooked until the cheese has melted. The sauce is ready now to top the caramelized cauliflower.
We recommend making a double batch of the marinara cheese sauce to jazz up next week’s meals and healthy veggie sides.
ADD THE MARINARA CHEESE SAUCE
Now that the cauliflower is cooked to perfection, the most flavourful marinara cheese sauce is poured over the cauliflower and then topped with parmesan. For the final touch, pop the cauliflower under a broiler for a couple of minutes, and the roasted cauliflower parmesan dish is ready.
