Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse and dry the golden cauliflower head. Cut into florets, making sure they are roughly uniform in size to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper until they are evenly coated.
Spread the coated cauliflower florets onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and starts to turn golden brown.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the cauliflower and return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the cauliflower is fully golden.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
Transfer the baked golden cauliflower to a serving dish and top with chopped fresh chives, crumbled bacon, and a dollop of sour cream.
Serve warm as a delicious keto-friendly side dish.
