Ingredients
- 1 head (about 2 pounds) Cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Cut the cauliflower into small florets and discard the core and leaves. Rinse and thoroughly dry the florets.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir well to create a flavorful coating.
Step 4
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the olive oil mixture.
Step 5
Spread the coated florets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap for even roasting.
Step 6
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the florets.
Step 7
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes or until the Parmesan is melted and golden brown.
Step 8
Remove the cauliflower from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious, savory side dish!
