I can't understand why so many people seem to hate cauliflower. I think they just don't know what to do with it other than steam and throw a little butter on it, which is really just setting yourself up for a bland, 'eh' kind of side dish. There is so much more you can do with it and I'll show you how.
Here is the first of a handful of great ways to prepare it
Dump a bag of frozen (I hate chopping veggies, don't you?) cauliflower into an 8x8" oven safe dish; you don't want a ton of extra room around the cauliflower since you are throwing in it in there directly from the freezer and you want the seasonings to stick to the food not the dish
drizzle with about 3 Tbsp olive oil
sprinkle with about 2 tsp garlic powder (minced garlic is better if you've got it but usually i take the easy way and just use the powder)
add 1 tsp pepper
1tsp paprika
and 1 Tbsp parsley
Bake at 400 for 30 minutes stirring half way through
If you want to jazz it up a little more throw on a handful of store bought bread crumbs and cheese (cheddar, parmesan or mozzarella will all work great) and broil the last 5 minutes.
