Balsamic & Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower image

This easy and delicious recipe is from EatingWell Magazine. The florets are cut into thick slices and tossed with extra-virgin olive oil and herbs. Wherever the flat surfaces come into contact with the hot roasting pan, a deep browning occurs that results in a sweet, nutty flavor. You can easily halve the recipe or change up the herbs to suit your taste and mood. TIP: To prepare florets from a whole head of cauliflower, remove outer leaves. Slice off the thick stem. With the head upside down and holding a knife at a 45° angle, slice into the smaller stems with a circular motion-removing a "plug" from the center of the head. Break or cut florets into the desired size.

8 cups 1-inch-thick slices cauliflower florets (about 1 large head, see Tip)

freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese
