Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cauliflower (cut into florets)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp turmeric (optional, for added color and flavor)
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan (optional for extra crisp)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the cauliflower: Wash the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Try to keep them about the same size for even roasting.
- Season the cauliflower: In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and turmeric (if using). Ensure the cauliflower is evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Roast the cauliflower: Arrange the seasoned cauliflower florets in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. For extra crispiness, make sure the florets aren’t overcrowded.
- Bake: Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the florets are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Optional finishing touch: If you’d like, sprinkle grated Parmesan on top during the last 5 minutes of baking for an extra crispy and cheesy flavor.
- Garnish & serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot as a delicious side dish or snack.
Enjoy your crispy, delicious roasted cauliflower!
