Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Remove the leaves and core from the head of cauliflower, then chop it into bite-sized florets.

Step 3

Place the cauliflower florets in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the cauliflower. Toss again to distribute the seasonings evenly.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is enough space for the florets to roast evenly.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender at the center with crispy edges.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy as a healthy snack option.
