Cauliflower Oreganata

December 15, 2013 by Angela LeMoine 9 Comments

I am a lucky mom, both my boys loves cauliflower. It makes life so much easier when I don’t have to make separate meals for us and the boys. This Cauliflower Oreganata is so incredibly easy to make but is most definitely tasty and beautiful enough to serve to friends and family for the holidays! 

The breadcrumb topping is really what makes this so good; Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, grated pecorino romano for that cheesy salty bite, fresh parsley and of course oregano. If you were on the fence about cauliflower, do give this one a try, you just may become a fan.

    Angela, this looks great. I love cauliflower but the only thing I ever do w/ it is roast it w/ salt & pepper. It’s awesome that way, but I could use a different method. Thanks – christine

      Isn’t it funny how we sometimes get stuck with always cooking a dish a certain way. I do the same all often! Glad you found another idea that you’d like!

    That looks incredible. I recently made mashed cauliflower for the first time and now I’m all about finding new and inventive ways to cook the vegetable.

      Yes, mashed cauliflower is a great alternative to the potatoes once in a while. Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoy this one as much as my family does, if you give it a try

    Your version of oreganata looks wonderful and i can’t wait to try it. I’m imagining with the long cooking (half covered) that the florets will be very soft with a crispy exterior.

      Thank you! You are exactly right! Cauliflower doesn’t have much moisture in it and it tends to take a bit of time in the oven. Once uncovered it browns up beautifully. Enjoy!

        I tested 2 florets using your method as a first step before making them for a Christmas Day side. I loved the results. However, I prefer a touch of agro dolce so I fried a couple of capers and raisins and sprinkled them on top with a quick squeeze of lemon juice. Thank you for posting this recipe.
