Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash the cauliflower and remove the leaves and stem. Cut it into small, even-sized florets.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up and spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on the sheet.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.
Remove the cauliflower from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve while warm.
