Print Recipe

A simple and delicious recipe for Crispy Roasted Cauliflower, seasoned with a savory spice blend and roasted until golden brown with perfectly charred edges.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil until well-coated.
  3. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes; toss until evenly seasoned.
  4. Spread the florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded.
  5. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden-brown and crispy.
  6. If using Parmesan, sprinkle it over the cauliflower during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
  7. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cauliflower is completely dry after washing to achieve maximum crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; use two baking sheets if necessary to allow for proper air circulation.
  • For a vegan version, omit the Parmesan cheese or use a nutritional yeast alternative.
