Oven Baked Whole Cauliflower Recipes

OVEN ROASTED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the garlic. Toss to mix well and place in a large baking dish or shallow roasting pan. Place the pan in the oven and roast the cauliflower, turning once or twice, until tender and caramelized around the edges, 30 to 35 minutes. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir the garlic into the pan.
• Remove the pan from the oven and serve immediately.

BAKED WHOLE CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Clean cauliflower, and trim off leaves and any brown spots. Place the whole head of cauliflower into a steamer basket, place the basket in a large pot, and add one inch of water. Cover, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook for about 20 minutes or until tender.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a medium bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, melted margarine. Season with garlic powder, salt, red pepper flakes, and oregano, and mix well. Place the head of cauliflower into a baking dish, and coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
• Bake for about 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix butter, dill, garlic, lemon zest, cumin, salt, and ground black pepper in a bowl.
• Cut cauliflower stem flush with the rest of the head so it can stay upright in a casserole dish. Spread butter mixture evenly over the top and sides of cauliflower, place in a casserole dish, and cover with foil.
• Roast in the preheated oven until tender and cooked through, about 1 1/4 hours. Transfer to a platter and spoon any liquid in the casserole dish over the cauliflower.
