Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp pepper
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 0.25 tsp chili flakes
- 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 0.33 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the cauliflower by rinsing it under cold water and patting it dry with a kitchen towel. Trim the leaves and cut off the stem, then slice the cauliflower into evenly sized florets.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the cauliflower is well coated with the seasonings.
- Spread the seasoned cauliflower on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer.
- Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until it is tender and golden brown.
- While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Let the sauce simmer for another 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Once the cauliflower is roasted, add it to the sauce and stir until well combined. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
- Serve the Marry Me Roasted Cauliflower hot as a delightful side dish or even as a main course.
