This is an old Betty Crocker recipe that is absolutely wonderful.  First you need to cut off the green outer leaves and trim the stalk.  Wash the head of cauliflower.  Place it in a deep pot and par-boil it in an inch of salted water, covered, for about 12 minutes.  Drain well and let it cool.  Place the cauliflower in a deep casserole dish.

Meanwhile, combine dry breadcrumbs with melted butter seasoned with S&P, ground red pepper and grated Parmesan cheese.  Pat the crumb mixture all over the cauliflower.  Put it in the oven at 375°F and bake for about 15 minutes until the crumb mixture is lightly browned and the cauliflower is very tender.

 Growing up, only had cauliflower boiled and did not care for it. Roasted is much better.  I will give this a try in the next couple of weeks.

Boiled cauliflower is boring.  That's probably the way so many of us had it.  (Possibly served topped with some sort of cheese sauce; didn't care much for that, either.)  This is sort of a cross between boiled and roasted with the added crunch of the seasoned breadcrumbs.  It's tasty!
