Recipes from Paso: Pasolivo's Oven Roasted Cauliflower

by Tina Swithin, Travel Paso Robles Alliance

By now you know that I'm always on the hunt for recipes.  Luckily, I live in an area that keeps me incredibly inspired to cook and experiment with new dishes year-round.  Fresh, local produce through the North County Farmer's Markets are a cook's dream come true.  Our local businesses such as Jack Creek Farms, Pasolivo, Fat Cat Farm, We Olive and Limerock Orchards help to keep my gourmet interest alive, well and thriving.  

I was visiting my friend's at Pasolivo yesterday and walked away with a fabulous new recipe for cauliflower.  Cauliflower is one of those vegetables that I don't use nearly enough.  After finding this easy and de-li-cious dish, you can rest assured that it will be on my dinner table much more often!  Easy, healthy and scrumptious is my favorite combination.  

Oven-Roasted Cauliflower

• One head of cauliflower
• One head of garlic
• Pasolivo lemon olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• Parmesan cheese

Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees.  Cut cauliflower into bite-size pieces.  Peel and chop garlic.  Combine  cauliflower and garlic in a 9 x 13 pan.  Drizzle with lemon oil and season with salt and pepper.  Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring to caramelize.  Remove from oven and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. 

Enjoy!
