Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Remove the green leaves and core from the cauliflower head, then cut it into bite-sized florets.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the cauliflower is evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not crowded for even roasting.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through cooking to ensure they brown evenly.
Remove the cauliflower from the oven once it is tender and golden brown around the edges.
Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, if using. Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a healthy snack.
