Ingredients List
- 1 large head of cauliflower
- 2–3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt & black pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Prepare the Cauliflower
Wash and dry the cauliflower thoroughly. Cut it into medium-sized florets, making sure they’re roughly the same size for even cooking.
Step 3: Season the Cauliflower
In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until every piece is evenly coated.
Step 4: Arrange & Bake
Spread the seasoned florets evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer (don’t overcrowd them — this helps them get crispy).
Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp on the edges.
Step 5: Serve
Serve hot as a side dish, or enjoy as a healthy snack. Optional — sprinkle with a little Parmesan cheese or squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
Additional Notes
- Extra Crispiness Tip: For extra crunch, roast on the top rack of your oven during the last 5 minutes.
- Spice Option: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes for a kick of heat.
