Roasted Cauliflower with Buttery Parmesan Bread Crumb Topping
Golden buttery breadcrumbs transform roasted cauliflower into an irresistible side dish suitable for a holiday feast, a formal dinner party, and because it is so easy to make, a busy weeknight.
To make it ahead, roast the cauliflower until it is nearly but not quite fork tender and make the topping, but don’t combine them. Just before serving, warm the topping in the microwave or in a loosely covered baking dish in the oven. Heat the cauliflower on the roasting pans, transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with warmed topping.

While the cauliflower cooks, prepare the topping. Melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, until it just begins to turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the bread crumbs and cook until lightly browned, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl
