Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, discarding the stem and leaves.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, juice from the lemon, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the marinade.
Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and slightly caramelized.
Once roasted, transfer the cauliflower to a serving dish.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley and crumbled feta cheese on top before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or light main.
