Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, removing and discarding the leaves and core.
In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with the olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned, stirring halfway through.
While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the crispy almond breadcrumbs.
In a small bowl, combine the almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and dry-toast the almond flour mixture, stirring frequently, for about 3 to 5 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove from heat.
Chop the parsley finely and mix it with the lemon zest in the toasted almond breadcrumbs.
Once the cauliflower is done roasting, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a serving dish.
Sprinkle the crispy almond breadcrumbs evenly over the roasted cauliflower before serving.
Serve immediately as a delightful Whole30-approved side dish.
