Several years ago I discovered roasting vegetables. I had no idea how much flavor just roasting would give vegetables. I did not realize how much difference a simple thing, like cooking at a very high heat, would make for vegetables.
I now roast carrots, asparagus, and even things like green beans. A lot of times I just use a little butter or oil and salt and pepper, but sometimes I like to add a little more flavor to the vegetables.
This roasted cauliflower is simple, yet a little different, with the addition of garlic and parmesan cheese.
My kids love this, so if your kids are reluctant to eat cauliflower, you should give this a try. It really is good.

I make a very similar roasted cauliflower dish and I agree, it is so good this way.

When roasting veggies, does it matter if the oven rack is high or low?
@Amy @ Finer Things, I usually just use the middle or lower middle rack when I roast vegetables.
We love roasting cauliflower — sometimes, I’ll mash up a bit and then serve the roasted veggies on top! It’s a fun alternative to mashed potatoes.
