Prep Time:15 mins

Cook Time:30 mins

Total Time:45 mins

Servings: 4

Ingredients

1 large head Cauliflower
3 tablespoons Olive oil
1 teaspoon Salt
0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
0.75 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
2 tablespoons Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower, then cut it into bite-sized florets.

Step 3

Place the cauliflower florets in a large bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until the cauliflower is evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and tender, stirring halfway through cooking.

Step 5

While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the crispy breadcrumbs. In a skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place it over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the gluten-free breadcrumbs to the skillet. Stir frequently and toast them for about 5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh parsley and optional Parmesan cheese (if using).

Step 8

Once the cauliflower is roasted, transfer it to a serving dish. Sprinkle the crispy breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top.

Step 9

Drizzle with lemon juice, toss gently, and serve immediately.
