Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Remove the leaves and core from the head of cauliflower, then chop it into bite-sized florets.
Place the cauliflower florets in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the cauliflower. Toss again to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Spread the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is enough space for the florets to roast evenly.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender at the center with crispy edges.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy as a healthy snack option.
