How to Make Baked Cauliflower With Italian Seasoning

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut the bottom stem off a 1.5-2 lb head of cauliflower. Do not break apart the florets.
  3. Cut an 'X' into the bottom of the stem to help with even steaming.
  4. Steam the cauliflower for 10 minutes, flip, and steam for another 5-10 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  5. While cauliflower steams, prepare the topping: Melt 4 tablespoons of margarine in a medium bowl.
  6. Add 1 cup of breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried basil, and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano to the melted margarine. Mix well to combine.
  7. Place the steamed cauliflower in a baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches).
  8. Spoon the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top and sides of the cauliflower.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy.
