1/2 cup sliced red onion
2 fresh thyme sprigs
3 unpeeled garlic cloves
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 425° F. Toss together onion, thyme, garlic and olive oil; season with salt and black pepper. Roast, tossing occasionally, until tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese; roast until cauliflower and cheese is caramelized.
