- 1 head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash the cauliflower and remove the leaves and the base of the stem.
Cut the cauliflower into equal-sized florets to ensure even roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss well to coat each piece evenly with the spiced oil mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the florets are golden and tender.
Remove the cauliflower from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
