Crispy Roasted Cauliflower (Page 2 ) | February 27, 2025

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Prepare the Cauliflower
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, ensuring they’re well coated.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese (if using) over the florets. Toss again to coat evenly.
Step 3: Arrange on the Baking Sheet
Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between the florets for even roasting.
If needed, use two baking sheets to avoid overcrowding.
Step 4: Roast
Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through for even browning.
The cauliflower is done when it’s golden, crispy on the edges, and tender in the center.
Step 5: Serve
Transfer the crispy roasted cauliflower to a serving platter.
Optionally, drizzle with lemon juice and garnish with fresh herbs.
