- Set the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (205 degrees Celsius) and preheat it. Line a baking sheet or large roasting pan with aluminum foil; alternatively, you could lightly oil it.
- In a bowl, place the cauliflower florets. Toss them with already minced garlic bits. Add a squeeze of lemon juice. Drizzle olive oil over the florets then tosses to coat them with the oil lightly.
- On the roasting pan, arrange the florets in a single layer, season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Roast the cauliflower for 25 to 30 minutes, uncovered, at 400°F (205°C), do this until the tops are gently browned. Check for doneness with a fork; when the cauliflower is done, the tines of the fork should easily pierce through them.
- Take the cauliflower florets out of the oven, top them with a liberal amount of Parmesan cheese, and serve them right away.
