Ingredients
1medium headcauliflower(2pounds)
3tablespoonsextra-virgin olive oil
2teaspoonsgratedgarlic, divided
5tablespoonsgratedPecorino Romano cheese, divided
1¼teaspoonscoarselyground pepper, divided, plus more for garnish
½cupwhole-milk plain yogurt
¼cupreduced-fat cream cheese, softened
⅛teaspoonsalt
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsleyfor garnish (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Remove and discard leaves from cauliflower. Trim bottom of core so the cauliflower head sits flat on the prepared baking sheet. Whisk 3 tablespoons oil and 1½ teaspoons garlic together in a small bowl. Brush the cauliflower all over with all of the oil mixture, making sure most of the grated garlic pieces are on the top or sides of the head. Sprinkle the top and sides with 2 tablespoons Pecorino and 1 teaspoon pepper, lightly pressing to adhere.
Cover the cauliflower with foil; roast for 40 minutes. Uncover and continue roasting until golden brown and tender, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, 30 to 35 minutes more.
Meanwhile, whisk ½ cup yogurt, the softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons Pecorino, ⅛ teaspoon salt and the remaining ½ teaspoon garlic and ¼ teaspoon pepper together in a small bowl until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Using the back of a spoon, spread the yogurt mixture on a serving platter. Top with the roasted cauliflower head; sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon Pecorino. Garnish with parsley and/or additional pepper, if desired.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
