Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cauliflower florets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese (finely grated, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Wash and thoroughly dry the cauliflower florets. Cut them into bite-sized pieces if necessary.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the cauliflower at this point.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through cooking to achieve even crispiness.
Once the cauliflower is golden and tender, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
Serve immediately with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce, such as ranch or aioli.
