Roasted Cauliflower with Cotija

Did you know February is  Heart Health Month? It’s a good reminder to create awareness of better for you recipes and products you can incorporate into your meal prep. I’ve been cooking with Mazola® Corn Oil ​because a clinical study showed Mazola® Corn Oil reduces cholesterol two times more than extra virgin olive oil. (To learn more about this claim, visit MAZOLA.com).

If you are looking for an all-purpose cooking oil, Mazola® Corn Oil​l is a great choice for your family. Its uses include baking, grilling, sautéing, stir-frying and even in marinades or dressings.

Having a go-to all-purpose cooking oil in your pantry makes healthy cooking and meal brainstorming easier. Choosing better-for-you ingredients can be confusing and intimidating. That’s why Heart Healthy* Mazola® Corn Oil​ makes it simple and easy to prepare better for you meals.

I love roasting cauliflower because I can include it in many dishes. From adding it to a rice bowl to chopping it up and including it to scrambled eggs, it’s a great vegetable to have readily available for meal prepping and impromptu meals where a vegetable is needed.

For this recipe, I decided to make a delicious marinade with pantry staples and brush it evenly on cauliflower steaks. The mixture of Mazola Corn Oil with garlic and spices gave it a flavorful feel. By finishing it off with fresh parsley and crumbled cotija cheese, the dish came together beautifully. I made plenty to store and serve later on in the week. It keeps well and so filling.
