Crispy Roasted Cauliflower: A Flavorful, Healthy Delight

Crispy roasted cauliflower is a delicious and nutritious side dish that transforms this humble vegetable into a savory, golden-brown treat. Whether you’re looking for a low-carb alternative to fries or simply want to enhance your vegetable game, this dish is a perfect choice. Roasting cauliflower intensifies its natural sweetness while giving it a crunchy texture that is hard to resist. Here’s how to make it step by step.


Ingredients

  • 1 large head of cauliflower
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional but delicious)
  • Fresh parsley or lemon wedges for garnish (optional)

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven is crucial for getting that crispy, roasted texture.

Step 2: Prepare the Cauliflower

  • Remove the green leaves and stem from the cauliflower head.
  • Cut it into bite-sized florets. Try to keep the florets about the same size to ensure even roasting.

Step 3: Season the Cauliflower

  • Place the cauliflower florets in a large mixing bowl.
  • Drizzle them with olive oil and toss well to coat.
  • In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
  • Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the florets and toss again until all pieces are coated.
