6-ingredient Roasted Cauliflower Parmesan
PREP 15 MIN•COOK 25 MIN
A veggie-packed twist on a classic comfort dish - this cauliflower parmesan (or parmigiana for the Aussies) comes together with just six ingredients. Make it in the oven or use the air fryer for perfect caramelization in a fraction of the time. Either way, it's golden, cheesy and satisfying.

500g cauliflower cut into 2 x 9 oz cauliflower steaks, 3/4 inch thick
1 spray olive oil
salt & pepper, to taste
1 cup (250g) tomato & basil sauce or puree ore pre-prepared marinara sauce
2 tbs cheddar cheese grated
1⁄2 cup (60g) parmesan finely grated
2 cups (60g) arugula
1 can of cannellini beans (14 oz can) drained & rinsed
Preheat oven to 430°F/fan-forced 400°F. Line an ovenproof baking dish with baking paper.

Whilst cauliflower cooks, combine arugula, beans, reserved parmesan and season with salt and pepper.
Serve cauliflower parmesan with salad.
