Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that the cauliflower roasts evenly and gets a nice golden color.
- 2
Prepare the Cauliflower
Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower head. Cut it into florets of similar size to ensure even cooking.
- 3
Season the Cauliflower
In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the florets are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Cooking
- 4
Arrange on Baking Sheet
Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper roasting.
- 5
Roast the Cauliflower
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and has a nice golden brown color. Stir halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
- 6
Add Parmesan Cheese (Optional)
If desired, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the cauliflower florets during the last 5 minutes of roasting to allow it to melt slightly.
Serving
- 7
Serve
Once roasted, remove the cauliflower from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm as a side dish or as a healthy snack.
