Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried thyme
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
• 0 for serving Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the cauliflower, season with salt and black pepper, and toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until they start to turn golden brown and become tender, turning them halfway through the cooking time.

Step 6

While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the crispy breadcrumb topping. In a small mixing bowl, combine almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, grated Parmesan cheese, and the remaining olive oil. Stir until well mixed.

Step 7

Once the cauliflower is roasted, remove it from the oven, and sprinkle the prepared breadcrumb mixture over the top of the cauliflower.

Step 8

Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the almond flour mixture is golden and crisp.

Step 9

Transfer the roasted cauliflower with crispy breadcrumbs to a serving dish, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
