🧺 Ingredients

  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into bite-size florets
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional but amazing)
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven
    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Season the cauliflower
    Place florets in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Toss until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange for crispiness
    Spread cauliflower in a single layer on the baking sheet. Do not overcrowd — this is key for crisp edges.
  4. Roast to perfection
    Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Optional cheesy finish
    Sprinkle Parmesan over the cauliflower during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
  6. Garnish & serve
    Finish with fresh herbs and serve hot.

🔥 Methods & Pro Tips

  • High heat roasting creates crispy edges
  • Dry cauliflower well before seasoning for extra crunch
  • Air fryer method: Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes
  • Extra flavor: Finish with lemon juice or a drizzle of garlic butter
