Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and trim the cauliflower, removing any green leaves and the base of the stem, and cut into bite-sized florets.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until they are fully coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, sprinkle the cauliflower with grated Parmesan cheese, and return to the oven.
Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden brown and tender.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
