Roasted Cauliflower with Parmesan Cheese

One of my biggest struggles is getting veggies in. I could eat fruit all day, but the prospect of a salad makes me lose my appetite. I'm trying new veggie sides for the next few weeks to try and add some variety to the meal plan. I made this last night and my husband was shocked when I dished a second serving onto my plate.

Ingredients:

6 cups cauliflower florets, fresh or thawed
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

- Preheat oven to 450.
- In a large bowl, combine cauliflower, olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
- Transfer cauliflower to a large baking sheet and spread into a single layer.
- Roast until cauliflower is golden brown, tossing occasionally (approximately 15 minutes.)
- Remove from oven, transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with cheese. Toss to mix.



Serves 6. Taken from Weight Watchers website (1 point per serving.) They don't give any caloric info, so I plugged it into the recipe analyzer at Calorie Count. 1 cup = 63 calories, 3.5g fat, 288 mg sodium, 2.5g fiber, 3.6g protein.

I can't wait to try this. Cauliflower is the one veggie my kids won't eat and I don't like -so hopefully we can now include this in our meals.
