A Cheesy Take on Cauliflower

Cauliflower dipped in low-fat ranch dressing certainly makes a great snack, but raw isn't the only way to enjoy this often overlooked veggie. Try it roasted with parmesan cheese, for a 104-calorie treat that hits the comfort food spot, courtesy of The Biggest Loser Cookbook:

Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower

1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) cauliflower florets 2 teaspoons grated reduced-fat Parmesan cheese 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley leaves 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper Salt, to taste 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

Preheat oven to 425 ° F. In a medium bowl, combine cauliflower, cheese, parsley, garlic powder, and pepper. Season with salt. Toss to mix. Drizzle with oil and toss again. Transfer to a small nonstick baking dish. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, tossing once, or until lightly browned and crisp-tender. Serve immediately.
