Ingredients

  • Large Head of Cauliflower cut into similar size florets
  • 6 cloves minced garlic about 2 Tbsp
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/3 cup grated Pecorino Romano Cheese (or favorite grated italian cheese)
  • 1 Tbsp fresh chopped parsley
  • Fresh cracked black pepper and kosher salt to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees and lightly grease or apply PAM to large casserole dish
  2. Toss cauliflower in oil and minced garlic coating well placing in dish
  3. Cover with aluminum foil and bake 25 mins stirring halfway through
  4. Uncover, stir,  and top with parsley & pecorino romano then broil 3-5 mins until golden
  5. Salt & Pepper to taste and serve

At 6 servings its around 125 cal and 5 carbs

Quick Fact According to Progessive Grocer: New 6 yr study shows Pecorino Romano cheese has a large amount of CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) which can reduce fat, suppress diabetes, preserve muscle tissue, inhibit tumor growth on skin, mammary glands, & stomach.
