Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
- Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Arrange florets in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway for even crispiness.
- Optional: Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top during the last 5 minutes.
- Serve hot, with your favorite dip or sauce.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, roast at 425°F (218°C) and spread florets in a single layer without overcrowding.
- Enhance the flavor by adding fresh herbs, lemon zest, or balsamic glaze after roasting.
- Make it spicy by sprinkling cayenne pepper or red chili flakes before baking.
- Dairy-free option: Skip the Parmesan or use nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
- Storage Tip: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for the best texture.

- Pairing Ideas: Goes well with grilled chicken, salmon, quinoa bowls, or creamy dips like hummus or yogurt sauce.
