- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Rinse and dry the cauliflower. Remove the outer leaves and cut the cauliflower into evenly sized florets.
In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, ensuring that each piece is well coated.

Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy. Stir once halfway through roasting to promote even cooking.
