Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup fine breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into small, evenly sized florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower florets and toss to evenly coat.
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the cauliflower and toss until the florets are well coated.
Add the breadcrumbs to the cauliflower and toss once more to ensure an even coating.
Spread the coated cauliflower florets out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown on the edges.
Once roasted, remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, zesty finish.
