Roasted Garlic Cauliflower

Oh my!  Add this to my list of new favorite side dishes...right along with these.  I am always looking for new ways to shake up our standard veggies or fruit to eat with our meals.  And this one did not disappoint.  Even my kids loved it!  The cauliflower slowly roasts in a touch of olive oil and develops a slightly nutty flavor.  The garlic, parmesan, and parsley are the perfect finish and make this dish irresistible.  I made these bite size to go with our chicken nugget meal that I'd posted about before.  We ate the nuggets and the cauliflower with toothpicks and there wasn't any leftovers to spare from the meal.  I will for sure be making this amazing dish again and again!
