I feel like cauliflower is one of those vegetables that people either love or they hate, and their is no in between. I absolutely love cauliflower and cook it quite frequently. I definitely think it needs additional spices and ingredients added to it or it can be quite bland. This is a very simple side dish that would be perfect for Thanksgiving dinner. You could even add some broccoli and do Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower. I think this is what I am doing for our Thanksgiving.

1 medium head of cauliflower (about 2 1/2 pounds), trimmed and cut into florets

1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons grated reduced fat parmesan cheese
Directions:
-Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
-In a bowl, combine cauliflower and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking dish/baking sheet that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
-Make sure to keep them in a single layer so they cook evenly.
-Roast for about 25 minutes; make sure to stir at least once to prevent scorching.
-Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve
Enjoy! :)
*As always, this could be used any meal of the year, not just Thanksgiving.
