Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Optional garnishes include freshly chopped parsley, a squeeze of lemon juice, or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Notes:
Cauliflower Prep: Ensure florets are dry before adding oil to promote crispiness.
Oil Choice: Olive oil works best, but avocado oil is a great alternative for high-heat roasting.
Flavor Variations: Add paprika, cayenne, or nutritional yeast for an extra kick.
Tips for Perfect Roasted Cauliflower
Avoid Overcrowding: Spread florets out to allow hot air to circulate, ensuring crisp edges.
Preheat the Oven: Ensure the oven is fully preheated before roasting for the best texture.
Flip Halfway: Turning the florets midway helps achieve even browning on all sides.
Extra Crispy: Add a tablespoon of breadcrumbs or grated Parmesan before roasting.
