🥦 Crispy Roasted Cauliflower – Better Than Meat!
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp cumin (optional, but adds depth)
- ¼ tsp chili flakes (optional for heat)
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan (optional but amazing)
- Fresh parsley or lemon wedges for serving
🔥 The Secret to Extra Crispiness
- Dry it well – After washing, pat completely dry. Moisture = steam = no crisp.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan – Use a large baking sheet. Space between florets is key.
- High heat – Roast at 425°F (220°C).
- Flat side down – Place cut sides touching the pan for better browning.
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ In a large bowl, toss cauliflower with olive oil and all seasonings until well coated.
3️⃣ Spread onto baking sheet in a single layer, cut sides down.
4️⃣ Roast for 25–35 minutes, flipping halfway, until deeply golden and crispy on the edges.
5️⃣ Optional: In the last 5 minutes, sprinkle with Parmesan and return to oven.
6️⃣ Finish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon.
💥 Flavor Upgrade Ideas
