Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a big bowl, toss together the cauliflower, onion, and garlic. Drizzle in some olive oil, then sprinkle over the Parmesan and Cheddar cheeses. Give everything a good mix so the veggies are nicely coated. Spread the mixture out evenly on your prepared baking sheet. Pop it into the oven and roast until the cauliflower turns golden and tender, which should take about 35 to 45 minutes. Keep an eye on it toward the end so it doesn’t burn. Once it’s done, take it out and enjoy!
