Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into bite-sized florets.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, and ground black pepper.
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated in the seasoned mixture.
Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded. This will help them caramelize rather than steam.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender, with crispy edges.
Remove the cauliflower from the oven and transfer it to a serving dish.
Optional: Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serve warm and enjoy this sweet and smoky dish!
