Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 3 slices Vegan bread
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, discarding the tough core and leaves.
In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss well to ensure the cauliflower is evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and golden brown, tossing halfway through cooking.
While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the breadcrumbs. Tear the vegan bread into pieces and pulse them in a food processor until coarse crumbs form.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and stir frequently until they are golden and crispy, about 5 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the nutritional yeast and chopped parsley.
Once the cauliflower is roasted, transfer it to a serving platter. Drizzle with lemon juice for a hint of freshness.
Sprinkle the crispy breadcrumbs over the roasted cauliflower and serve immediately.
