Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Cut the cauliflower into small, bite-sized florets and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, and sea salt. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the marinade.
In a separate small bowl, mix the almond flour and grated parmesan cheese.
Sprinkle the almond flour and parmesan mixture over the cauliflower, tossing well to ensure each floret is lightly coated.
Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender-crisp.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve immediately as a snack or appetizer and enjoy the bold, spicy, and garlicky flavors!
