Ingredients

1 head cauliflower, cut into florets

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

0.5 teaspoon salt

0.25 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Wash and dry the cauliflower, then cut it into even-sized bite-sized florets.

3. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower with olive oil until evenly coated.

4. Add garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss again to coat well.

5. Spread the cauliflower on the baking sheet in a single layer, without overcrowding.

6. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

7. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot with your favorite dip.

Notes

For extra crispiness, don’t overcrowd the baking sheet—use two if needed.

You can switch the paprika for smoked paprika or chili powder for a twist.
