🥦 Crispy Roasted Cauliflower

Ingredients

• 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

• 3 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional for a smoky flavor)

• 1/2 tsp onion powder

• Salt & black pepper, to taste

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra crispiness)

• Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare cauliflower: Place florets in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then toss with garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

3. Spread out: Arrange florets in a single layer on the baking sheet (don’t overcrowd — this ensures crispiness).

4. Roast: Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are golden brown and crispy.

5. Optional cheesy finish: In the last 5 minutes, sprinkle Parmesan over the cauliflower and return to the oven.

6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley or chives and enjoy hot!
