I have my grocery list … I’ve had the talk with myself … “Nothing that’s not on the list, Shamille” … I enter the store … but there’s a SALE on cauliflower. 2 for $4 … what, what? I’ll take both. Every single time … this is the chat I have with myself and every time I loose the list game.
So since I’ve procured both of these ever-elusive sale cauliflower heads … I’ve had cauliflower with yogurt dip, cauliflower in curry, mashed cauliflower, cauliflower salad, cauliflower soup … What now? Roast it!

Roasted cauliflower with Parmesan + Paprika
What you’ll need:
- A head of cauliflower (or whatever you have on hand – don’t get suckered by the sale), chopped into florets
- a healthy sprinkle of smoked paprika
- zest and juice of 1 lemon
- kosher salt a generous coating
- fresh ground black pepper … a generous bit
- Fresh grated parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
What you’ll do:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Toss cauliflower with olive oil and arrange in a single layer on cookie sheet
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper, & paprika
- Bake for 15 minutes and coat with parmesan
- Bake another 5 minutes
- Serve hot with whatever you like
- Enjoy!
