Total Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

1 head medium cauliflower
2 cloves garlic, coarsely minced
2 tbsps olive oil
2 tbsps parmesan cheese, shredded
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1 dash black pepper
1 lemon yields lemon juice

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C).

2. Cut cauliflower into florets and put in a single layer in an oven-proof baking dish. Toss in the garlic.

3. Squeeze lemon juice over cauliflower and drizzle each piece with olive oil.

4. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. If the oven hasn't reached 400°F yet, set aside until it has.

5. Place casserole in the hot oven, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is lightly brown. Test with a fork for desired doneness. Fork tines should be able to easily pierce the cauliflower.

6. Remove from oven and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
