PARMESAN ROASTED CAULIFLOWER
Serves 6

½ cup panko bread crumbs
¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh basil
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups small cauliflower florets

Fill a medium pot with water and bring to a boil. Heat oven to 375 F. Lightly coat an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, cheese, oil, lemon zest, basil, paprika and salt. Use your hands to evenly combine the mixture.

Place the cauliflower in boiling water for 3 minutes; drain. Place the cauliflower in the baking dish and sprinkle the bread crumb mixture evenly over the top. Bake for about 15 minutes or until crust is lightly brown.
