Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

nonstick cooking spray
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 head cauliflower, chopped into bite-size pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a cooling rack with nonstick cooking spray; place on a baking sheet and set aside.
Combine Parmesan cheese, thyme, oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Place cauliflower onto the prepared cooling rack. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven until tender and easily pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven.
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Broil in the preheated oven until cauliflower is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oven, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.
