Ingredients

1 medium cauliflower, whole 5-6 inches diameter
1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder optional

Instructions

Wash and trim cauliflower into bite sized pieces (cut from the stems to keep the florets intact).
Place the florets on a parchment paper or foil lined baking sheet lined and sprinkle with cheese (and garlic if using)
Set a rack in the oven about 4 inches from your broiler (second from the top) and roast on high for 5-6 minutes for tender crisp cauliflower (if you like your cauliflower softer, move the tray to a lower rack and broil for a few more minutes).
Because the floret sizes can vary, you know that the cauliflower is ready when the cheese melts and the cauliflower has touches of brownness.

Notes

Recipe variatons: Instead of shredded cheddar, you can use other kinds of cheese as well. I like it with parmesean, asiago, spicy jack, etc.. Whatever cheese you like to eat will taste good with this cauliflower recipe.
