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.
