Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Remove the green leaves and core from the cauliflower. Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves finely and add them to the bowl with the cauliflower.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower and toss to coat evenly.

Step 5

In a small mixing bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended.

Step 6

Sprinkle the Parmesan mixture over the cauliflower and toss again to coat each floret thoroughly.

Step 7

Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for optimal roasting.

Step 8

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.

Step 9

While the cauliflower is roasting, chop the fresh parsley finely for garnish.

Step 10

Once the cauliflower is done roasting, remove it from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top for a fresh pop of color and flavor.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy as a light vegetarian main course. Bon appétit!
