– 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets – 3 tablespoons olive oil – 1 teaspoon garlic powder – 1 teaspoon paprika – Salt and pepper to taste – Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet.
Roast the cauliflower in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden brown on the edges. This brings out a rich, nutty flavor.
Check for doneness by piercing a floret with a fork; it should be tender but still have some bite. Avoid overcooking to keep a nice texture.
Once roasted, transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, adding a fresh and colorful touch to the warm cauliflower.
Serve immediately as a side dish or snack. This easy recipe is perfect for a healthy, flavorful addition to any meal with minimal prep time.
