Baked Cauliflower Tastes Better Than Meat! Crispy Roasted Cauliflower – Simply Delicious

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

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare the cauliflower: Wash the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Try to keep them about the same size for even roasting.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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!
