Crispy Roasted Cauliflower
Ingredients:
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
2 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter for extra richness)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika (for a deeper flavor)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional but delicious)
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Toss cauliflower in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and Parmesan if using.
3. Spread out the florets on the baking sheet in a single layer.
4. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
5. Serve immediately with a dip like ranch, tahini sauce, or a squeeze of lemon!
Want it even crispier? Toss with a little almond flour or crushed pork rinds before roasting! Let me know if you’d like any variations.
