Ingredients
1 medium head of cauliflower
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and cut cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
- In a large bowl, toss cauliflower with olive oil, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
- Spread florets on a baking sheet in a single layer without overcrowding.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy on the edges.
- Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- Dry cauliflower thoroughly before roasting to maximize crispiness.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese in the last 5 minutes of roasting for added flavor.
- Add chili flakes or cayenne for heat, or swap paprika for curry powder for variety.
- Use an air fryer for an even crispier texture.
- Pairs well with dipping sauces like garlic aioli or tahini.
