Ingredients
  

1 medium head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). To make cleanup easier, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Cauliflower: In a large mixing bowl, place the bite-sized cauliflower florets. Drizzle the florets with the olive oil, then sprinkle in salt, pepper, minced garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and optional red pepper flakes. Toss everything together until the cauliflower is evenly coated in the oil and seasonings.

      Add Some Cheese: Next, incorporate the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese into the seasoned cauliflower mixture. Gently toss again to ensure the cheese is distributed evenly among all the florets.

        Transfer to the Baking Sheet: Spread the cheesy cauliflower mixture across the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, allowing for even baking.

          Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and displays a lovely golden brown color. Look for the cheese to be bubbly and melted—stir the mixture halfway through baking to ensure consistent cooking.

            Garnish and Serve: Once done, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the bites cool for a minute. Before serving, sprinkle the Cheesy Garlic Bliss Bites with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

              Enjoy your Cheesy Garlic Bliss Bites as a delightful appetizer or alongside your favorite main dish!
