Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, discarding the core and leaves.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using) until the florets are evenly coated.
Spread the cauliflower mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, tossing the cauliflower halfway through, until the florets are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove the cauliflower from the oven and let it cool slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the roasted cauliflower to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or snack.
