Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower, then cut it into bite-sized florets.
Place the cauliflower florets in a large bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until the cauliflower is evenly coated.
Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and tender, stirring halfway through cooking.
While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the crispy breadcrumbs. In a skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place it over medium heat.
Add the gluten-free breadcrumbs to the skillet. Stir frequently and toast them for about 5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh parsley and optional Parmesan cheese (if using).
Once the cauliflower is roasted, transfer it to a serving dish. Sprinkle the crispy breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top.
Drizzle with lemon juice, toss gently, and serve immediately.
