Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. | Spray a microwave-safe casserole dish with vegetable oil. |
| 2. | Place cauliflower florets in the casserole dish. |
| 3. | Add water if needed to create steam. |
| 4. | Chop the green onions and yellow sweet peppers, then sprinkle them over the cauliflower. |
| 5. | Sprinkle salt and cayenne pepper over the cauliflower to taste. |
| 6. | Gently mix to distribute everything evenly. |
| 7. | Cover the casserole dish and microwave on high for about 4 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender-crisp. Adjust timing based on the amount of cauliflower used. |
| 8. | If your microwave doesn’t have a turntable, stir once halfway through cooking. |
| 9. | Remove the dish from the microwave and sprinkle black olives and grated parmesan cheese over the top. |
| 10. | Cover again and microwave for an additional 10 to 20 seconds, or just until the cheese begins to melt. |

| 12. | If your casserole dish doesn’t have a lid, cover it with plastic wrap, leaving a small steam vent in the center to prevent excessive steam loss during cooking. |
