Garlic Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower and Chicken Recipe
Here’s the thing—this Garlic Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower and Chicken used to be a meat-lover’s fantasy. But now? She’s fully vegan and glowing. We’ve ditched the bird, kept the crunch, and smothered our golden cauliflower florets in garlicky, cheesy (but not actual cheese, hello cashew magic) goodness. It’s crispy. It’s savory. It’s totally plant-powered without tasting like sad steamed veggies. And best of all? Your oven does most of the work while you pretend to be productive. So toss that apron on, pour some wine, and let’s roast this flavor-packed beauty like the domestic goddess you are.
Garlic Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower and Chicken Recipe
A roasted vegan dish that combines bold garlic, dairy-free Parmesan, and perfectly tender cauliflower with herbs and spices for major flavor impact.
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower chopped into florets
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup vegan Parmesan store-bought or homemade with cashews
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Fresh parsley for garnish optional but cute
- Lemon wedges for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line your baking sheet with parchment like the clean queen you are.
- In a large bowl, toss cauliflower with olive oil, garlic, Parmesan, seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Spread florets evenly on the sheet—don’t crowd them unless you want steamed sadness.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Aim for golden brown, not charcoal chic.
- Remove, garnish with parsley and a squeeze of lemon, and serve immediately.
- Bonus: Pair it with a side salad or wrap in a pita for lunch leftovers that slay.
