Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 head rainbow cauliflower (mix of purple, orange, green, or white-whatever you find)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 pinch sea salt & black pepper
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan (or try Gouda, Jarlsberg, or Emmenthal for extra vitamin K2 benefits)
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest grated
  • 1 pinch chili flakes or fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Prep the cauliflower: Cut into florets. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Roast for 20–25 minutes, tossing once, until the edges are golden and caramelized.
  4. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with Parmesan and lemon zest. Garnish with chili flakes or parsley if you like.

Notes

Optional Add‑Ons & Swaps

  • Add a sprinkle of turmeric to the olive oil for an extra anti-inflammatory boost.
  • Swap Parmesan for aged Gouda or Jarlsberg, which have vitamin K2 linked to reduced lung and prostate cancer risk.
Squeeze a little lemon juice over just before serving for brightness.
