Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 cups Whole wheat breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse and pat dry the cauliflower. Remove the leaves and cut the cauliflower into small florets.
In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and dried thyme. Toss until the cauliflower is evenly coated.
Spread the cauliflower onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring the florets have space to roast properly.
Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
While the cauliflower is roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the whole wheat breadcrumbs to the skillet and toast them, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes.
Remove the crispy breadcrumbs from the heat and mix in the chopped fresh parsley and lemon zest.
Once the cauliflower is done roasting and is tender with some caramelized edges, transfer it to a serving dish.
Sprinkle the cauliflower with the crispy breadcrumb mixture just before serving to maintain the crunch.
Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious and healthy low sodium roasted cauliflower with crispy breadcrumbs.
