- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss them in the seasoned olive oil mixture until they are well coated.
Spread the cauliflower florets evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the cauliflower and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and turned golden brown.
