- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Remove the leaves and core from the head of cauliflower, then cut it into evenly sized florets.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the cauliflower florets onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even roasting.
Step 5
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through, until golden brown and tender.
Step 6
Once the cauliflower is done roasting, remove it from the oven and immediately sprinkle with lemon zest, lemon juice, and grated Parmesan cheese. Toss gently to coat.
Step 7
Transfer the roasted cauliflower to a serving dish and, if desired, garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy warm as a side dish or tasty snack!
