Baked Cauliflower Tastes Better Than Meat! Crispy Roasted Cauliflower
My Crispy Roasted Cauliflower recipe is a testament to the versatility and deliciousness of this humble vegetable.
Ingredients
- • 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- • 2 tablespoons olive oil
- • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- • ½ teaspoon onion powder
- • ½ teaspoon paprika
- • ¼ teaspoon salt
- • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- • Optional: ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- • Wash and dry the cauliflower florets. If they are large, cut them into smaller pieces for even cooking.
- • In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. If using Parmesan cheese, add it now and toss again.
- • Spread the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- • Roast for 30–40 minutes, or until golden brown and tender, stirring halfway through for even roasting.
- • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a main dish, side dish, or snack!
