Ingredients

  • 1 medium cauliflower head, cut into florets
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Toss florets with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
  4. Spread cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  6. Serve hot straight from the oven.

Notes

  • Add grated Parmesan during the last 10 minutes of roasting for a cheesy crust.
  • For a spicy version, add chili flakes or cayenne pepper.
  • Drizzle with lemon juice or top with fresh herbs for brightness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
