Description
A delightful baked cauliflower dish that is golden brown and crispy while remaining tender inside.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head of cauliflower (chopped into bite-sized florets)
- 2 – 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Place your cauliflower florets in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
- Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to the bowl.
- Use your hands or tongs to toss everything until evenly coated.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread the cauliflower out in a single layer—no overlapping.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
- If using Parmesan, sprinkle it on during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Serve hot straight from the oven.
Notes
Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet for extra crispiness. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
