Roasted Cauliflower with Cheddar & Rosemary
Slicing cauliflower into shingles allows for quicker cooking and desirable browning. Tossed at the last minute with cheese, rosemary, and chives, it looks great spread out on a platter.
1 medium head cauliflower
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 ounces very sharp yellow cheddar, shredded
2 teaspoon very finely minced fresh rosemary
¼ cup finely chopped fresh chives
Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Core the cauliflower and cut in half through the stem end. Place flat side down on a cutting board and cut crosswise in ¼-inch thick slices (some will fall apart). Arrange on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle the cauliflower with 3 tablespoons of the oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast 10 minutes, turn the slices over and roast 10 minutes longer, until tender and golden. Transfer to a platter. Toss with the cheese, the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the rosemary and chives. Serve 4
