Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Dairy-free plain breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Zest of a lemon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into florets, each about 1 to 2 inches in size.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and lemon juice. Mix well.
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
While the cauliflower is roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the breadcrumbs and toast them, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in nutritional yeast, fresh parsley, and lemon zest. Mix thoroughly.
After 20 minutes, remove the cauliflower from the oven, sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top, and return to oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and cooked through.
Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious dairy-free roasted cauliflower with crispy breadcrumbs!
