Kyle MacLachlan’s Render the Head of Cauliflower Garcia

Prevent your screen from going dark

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower
  • Couple tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon cumin (more or less to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons panko
  • 2 tablespoons finely grated parmesan
  • Splash of white vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat a baking sheet.
  2. Render the head of cauliflower into bite-size pieces (not too small!).
  3. In a bowl, coat the cauliflower with olive oil.
  4. Add the cumin, smoked paprika, salt, panko, and parmesan.
  5. Mix with your hands to coat the cruciferous cauliflower.
  6. Splash the vinegar onto the veg, then fling those bad boys onto the preheated baking sheet.
  7. Roast at 375°F for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Add more parmesan during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Note: Don’t stack the cauliflower, you want the pieces to roast and if they’re too close, they’ll steam and come out soft.
