Oven Baked Cauliflower

Cauliflower is low in calories, low-carb, high in fiber, and completely filling. And while most of us think of citrus fruits as the best source of vitamin C, a cup of cauliflower florets –surprisingly- contains nearly 100% of the recommended daily allowance. Cauliflower also contains chemicals that protect against cancer.

During cauliflower season, you’ll see this simple dish on our dinner table several times a week. We eat it as if it’s a carb, alongside a green vegetable and a protein source (usually chicken). Since it’s just as good reheated as it is the first time around, we tend to bake two or three cauliflowers at a time.

1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
3 tablespoons olive oil
2-3 tablespoons whole wheat bread crumbs

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Place the cauliflower florets in a large bowl, add the olive oil and mix well so the cauliflower is coated.

Sprinkle the bread crumbs evenly on top of the cauliflower.
Place the cauliflower in the oven and bake for 75-90 minutes until the bread crumbs appear well toasted but not burned.
