Imagine tender-crisp cauliflower, caramelized at the edges, coated in a savory-tangy glaze. Each bite delivers a punch of aromatic garlic, complemented by the bright zest of lemon and the nutty, cheesy depth of vegan parmesan.

Feel free to increase or decrease the vegan parmesan cheese for a lighter touch or a richer, cheesier experience.
