Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Remove the green leaves and core from the cauliflower head, then cut it into bite-sized florets.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the cauliflower is evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not crowded for even roasting.
Step 5
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through cooking to ensure they brown evenly.
Step 6
Remove the cauliflower from the oven once it is tender and golden brown around the edges.
Step 7
Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, if using. Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a healthy snack.
