Ingredients
  

  • 1 head cauliflower the star of the show!
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for that perfect crispiness and flavor.
  • ½ teaspoon salt to enhance the natural flavors.
  • ½ teaspoon pepper for a little kick.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder adds a subtle sweetness and depth.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder because garlic makes everything better.
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese the magical ingredient that ties it all together.

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven. Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven is key for achieving that crispy texture we all love.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Cauliflower. Rinse the head of cauliflower under cold water and pat it dry. Remove the leaves and stem, then cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
  3. Step 3: Season the Cauliflower. In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Add the cauliflower florets and toss until well coated.
  4. Step 4: Add Parmesan Cheese. Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the seasoned cauliflower and toss again to ensure even coating.
  5. Step 5: Roast the Cauliflower. Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Step 6: Serve and Enjoy. Once roasted, remove from the oven and serve hot.

Notes

  • For a cheesy twist, try different cheese variations like cheddar or mozzarella.
  • Add fresh or dried herbs for extra flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
