- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika (optional)

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Step 2
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, discarding the core and leaves.

Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using) until the florets are evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the cauliflower mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, tossing the cauliflower halfway through, until the florets are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Step 7
Remove the cauliflower from the oven and let it cool slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Transfer the roasted cauliflower to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
