Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Roasted Cauliflower

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss thoroughly until evenly coated.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer.
Roast the cauliflower for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the cauliflower and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove from the oven and serve hot, either on its own or with dips.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crunchiness.
