Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into small, even-sized florets and discard the stem and leaves.
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss until the florets are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the cauliflower halfway through, until it is golden brown and slightly crispy.
While the cauliflower is roasting, finely chop the fresh parsley.
Once the cauliflower is roasted, remove it from the oven and sprinkle it with chopped parsley and lemon juice.
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy it on its own. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
