Main Ingredients

  • 1 head head of cauliflower
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional) Can be omitted

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
  • In a large bowl, mix the cauliflower with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Cooking

  • Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and tender, stirring halfway through cooking.
  • Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

For extra crunch, add some breadcrumbs before roasting. Try adding your favorite herbs and spices for different flavors. Make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure even roasting. You can experiment with different flavors by using curry powder, cumin, or even cheese for a cheesy cauliflower dish. Toss in some other vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for a colorful side dish.
