Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 medium head cauliflower fresh and firm
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder aromatic seasoning
  • 0.5 tsp smoked paprika powder optional, for smoky flavor
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp dried oregano for Mediterranean freshness
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan optional, for savory and golden crust
  • fresh parsley, lemon wedges or favorite dip for garnish and finishing

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Large Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F) top and bottom heat to ensure crispy cauliflower.
  2. Step 2: Wash cauliflower and cut into even florets. Dry thoroughly to avoid sogginess.
  3. Step 3: Place cauliflower florets in a large bowl and toss with olive oil.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika (if using), onion powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and Parmesan (optional) over cauliflower and mix well to coat evenly.
  5. Step 5: Spread cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup and better crisping.
  6. Step 6: Roast in oven for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through to ensure even golden browning.
  7. Step 7: When crispy and lightly browned, remove from oven and plate.
  8. Step 8: Garnish with fresh parsley, a squeeze of lemon, or your favorite dip and enjoy!

Notes

Variations include swapping oregano with thyme or rosemary, adding cayenne or chili flakes for heat, or using nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan for a vegan option. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
