This Crispy Roasted Cauliflower recipe delivers perfectly golden and flavorful cauliflower florets with a deliciously crispy texture.

Optionally topped with Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley for an added savory and fresh finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Cauliflower

  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets

Seasoning

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Optional Garnish

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
  2. Toss the cauliflower: In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well until every floret is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  3. Arrange the cauliflower: Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded to allow for proper roasting and crispiness.
  4. Roast until crispy: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the cauliflower for 25-30 minutes. Flip the florets halfway through cooking to ensure they brown and crisp up on all sides.
  5. Add cheese and garnish: Once roasted and golden brown, remove the cauliflower from the oven. While still hot, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if using, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
  • Adjust seasoning according to taste, adding more garlic powder or smoked paprika for stronger flavor.
  • Parmesan is optional but adds a nice savory touch.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to retain crispness.
