Ingredients

  • 2 medium heads cauliflower

  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon grated garlic

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

  • ¾ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove and discard outer leaves of cauliflower heads; trim stems. Place the cauliflower heads, stem-side down, on a cutting board; slice lengthwise into ¾-inch-thick slices. Arrange the slices in an even layer on the prepared baking sheets. (Some florets will come off as you slice; reserve for another use)

  2. Stir oil, thyme, rosemary, oregano, garlic and pepper together in a small bowl. Brush the tops of the cauliflower slices evenly with the oil mixture. Sprinkle evenly with salt. Bake until the cauliflower starts to brown, about 15 minutes. Drizzle evenly with vinegar and sprinkle with Parmesan. Continue baking until the cauliflower is golden brown and tender, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
