Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). This step is crucial for achieving that perfect crispiness.

  3. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the cauliflower.
  4. Spread the cauliflower evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cooking
  1. Pop the cauliflower in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until it is golden brown and crispy. Shake halfway through for even cooking.
Serving
  1. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Don’t skimp on the olive oil for that crispy texture. Experiment with spices like paprika for added flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in a hot oven.
