This crispy roasted cauliflower recipe transforms humble cauliflower into golden, crispy perfection with tender insides and savory flavor. It’s a healthy, easy-to-make snack or side dish that everyone will love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Chopped parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash the cauliflower thoroughly and pat it dry. Cut it into bite-sized florets, keeping them as evenly sized as possible for even cooking.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to make sure everything is evenly distributed.
  4. Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until every piece is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets on the sheet in a single layer.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes. Flip the florets halfway through to promote even browning.
  7. Remove the baking sheet from the oven when the edges are golden brown and slightly crisp, and the centers are tender.
  8. If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the hot cauliflower right after removing it from the oven.
  9. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

[‘Dry the cauliflower thoroughly after washing to ensure crispiness.’, ‘Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to avoid steaming.’, ‘Use high heat for golden edges and tender centers.’, ‘Experiment with spices like curry powder or chili flakes for variations.’, ‘Reheat leftovers in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness.’]
