Crispy Roasted Cauliflower

Ingredients:

• 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon grated
• Parmesan cheese (optional for extra flavor)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Cauliflower: In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Make sure the florets are evenly coated.
3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they’re not overcrowded for maximum crispiness.
4. Roast: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy.

5. Add Parmesan (Optional): If using, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the cauliflower during the last 5 minutes of baking for a cheesy finish.
6. Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm as a side dish or snack.
