Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the cauliflower, season with salt and black pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until they start to turn golden brown and become tender, turning them halfway through the cooking time.
While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the crispy breadcrumb topping. In a small mixing bowl, combine almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, grated Parmesan cheese, and the remaining olive oil. Stir until well mixed.
Once the cauliflower is roasted, remove it from the oven, and sprinkle the prepared breadcrumb mixture over the top of the cauliflower.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the almond flour mixture is golden and crisp.
Transfer the roasted cauliflower with crispy breadcrumbs to a serving dish, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
