Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 head head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika adds a smoky flavor
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • to taste Fresh parsley, chopped for garnishing

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, add the cauliflower florets, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until well-coated.
  3. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and toss again until all flavors are coated over the florets.
  4. Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer, avoiding crowding to ensure crispiness.
  5. Bake for about 25-30 minutes until the florets are golden brown and crispy.
  6. Let the bites cool for a minute, toss with fresh parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

For extra crispiness, try broiling for the last 2-3 minutes. You can substitute garlic powder with Italian seasoning or chili powder for a different flavor. Broccoli can be used as a substitute for cauliflower.
