Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper


Instructions

Instructions

1. Preheat Your Oven

Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. A hot oven is key to achieving the perfect crispy texture.

2. Prepare the Cauliflower

Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, ensuring they’re roughly the same size for even cooking.

3. Season the Cauliflower

In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the flavorful seasoning.

4. Roast

Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. This ensures the cauliflower roasts evenly and becomes delightfully crispy.

5. Bake

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through, flip the florets to ensure even browning. Roast until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy.

6. Serve

Serve immediately while the cauliflower is hot and crispy. Enjoy as a side dish, snack, or even a main course!
