Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Cauliflower head
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower and trim the stem. Cut the cauliflower into bite-size florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower florets and toss them well to ensure each piece is coated.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the cauliflower and again toss to distribute the spices evenly over the florets.
Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring that they aren’t overcrowded to allow even roasting.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the florets are golden brown and tender, turning them halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
Once done, remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve immediately as a side dish or a light Paleo snack.
