Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly 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.
Remove the outer leaves and core of the cauliflower, then cut it into bite-sized florets. Rinse and pat dry.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, sweet paprika, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the olive oil mixture, stirring to combine evenly.
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until each piece is well-coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned cauliflower evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the florets are not overcrowded.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through, until they are tender and golden brown with slightly crispy edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a serving dish.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley (if desired) and serve warm.
