Ingredients:

-1 large head cauliflower, chopped into bite-size pieces

-¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

-4 garlic cloves, crushed

-1 cup freshly ground Parmesan cheese

-12 slices bacon, fried and crumbled

-Freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste

Method:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• Place the cauliflower chunks, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper (if using) into a large bowl. Toss until well mixed.

• Spread the cauliflower on the lined baking sheet in a single layer so that the cauliflower chunks barely touch each other. Bake for 10 minutes.

• Remove from the oven. Flip the cauliflower chunks over.
