Ingredients:
1 head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
1/4 teaspoon chili powder or cayenne (optional, for some heat)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for a cheesy crunch)
Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Cauliflower
Wash and dry the cauliflower.
Cut it into bite-sized florets for even roasting.
Season the Cauliflower
In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and any other spices you like.
If using Parmesan, add it now for extra crispiness.
Roast Until Crispy
Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Serve & Enjoy
Garnish with fresh parsley or extra Parmesan if desired.
Serve hot as a side dish, snack, or even a meat alternative!
