"Cheesy" Roasted Cauliflower
My new favorite roasted cauliflower, using nutritional yeast. I've seen it used in several vegan recipes, but this is the first time I've tried it. I don't think it's particularly cheesy, but I can see how you could convince yourself it was if you were denying yourself real cheese. :P It does, however, have a rich, savory flavor that makes the roasted cauliflower quite delicious.
INGREDIENTS:
INGREDIENTS:
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 1 large head of cauliflower (about 5 to 6 heaping cups)
- 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Parsley, for garnish, optional
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line large baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray with cooking oil.
- Cut cauliflower into bite-sized florets. In a medium bowl, combine nutritional yeast, garlic powder, pepper and salt.
- Pour oil into a small bowl. Lightly dip each floret into oil and then dip into nutritional yeast mixture to coat. Place on baking sheet and repeat with each floret. **I'm much too lazy to dip each one, so I just tossed them with the oil, then sprinkled them with the powder and tossed some more. It seemed to work just fine.
- Bake 45 to 60 minutes, until browned. Serve and top with a handful of chopped parsley (if using).
You've been busy! Looks really good :). When can you come cook for me?
