Ingredients
1 medium cauliflower, cut into small florets or ½” thick steaks
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt, or to taste
¼ tsp ground paprika
¼ tsp ground black pepper, or to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425˚F (218˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice cauliflower into ½-inch thick steaks or break into small, even-sized florets.
Place cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and melted butter. Toss well to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, salt, paprika, and pepper. Sprinkle over the cauliflower and toss again to season thoroughly.
Spread cauliflower evenly in a single layer.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden and crispy on the edges and tender in the center.
Serve warm as a side dish or add to salads, grain bowls, or wraps.
Notes
Bake time may vary slightly depending on floret or steak size.
You can omit butter and use all olive oil for a dairy-free version.
Great served with a squeeze of lemon or topped with grated Parmesan.
