Baked Cauliflower with Garlic and Cheese



The other day while I was shopping at our local grocery store (Food Maxx), I saw that the cauliflower heads were on sale. The regular price for a large head of cauliflower is $3.49, but it was on sale for only $2.99. I have never cooked this vegetable before, so I did some research. I used the following very simple recipe to cook my first cauliflower dish. It turned out to be very delicious as well as nutritious. The recipe is from allrecipes.com.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large head cauliflower, separated into florets
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt and black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley


Directions

1.Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a large casserole dish.

2.Place the olive oil and garlic in a large resealable bag. Add cauliflower, and shake to mix. Pour into the prepared casserole dish, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

3.Bake for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through. Top with Parmesan cheese and parsley, and broil for 3 to 5 minutes, until golden brown.

Serve it along with chicken or pork adobo and steam rice and with green papaya pickles ( acharra) as a side dish. Good for 6.
