Cauliflower, Onion, and Parmesan Intermixture

I love eating foods that offer satisfying flavor, nutrition, and easy preparation all in one. My latest go-to warm vegetable concoction combines cruciferous cauliflower, caramelized onion, always welcome Parmesan, and healthy olive oil. It takes just minutes to make, and never fails to deliver.

It’s also a flexible dish in that you can add ingredients according to your preferences: any favorite herbs like thyme or rosemary, garlic cloves, or pepper would add another layer of taste. But I like it simple with just five ingredients.
