Crispy Roasted Cauliflower: The Ultimate Game-Changer 🥳
This roasted cauliflower recipe is so easy to prepare, yet it turns out with incredible flavor and crispy edges that will make even the most cauliflower-skeptical person a fan. Whether as a side dish or the star of your meal, this recipe is sure to impress.
Ingredients:
- 1 medium head of cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
- ½ teaspoon turmeric (optional, for a golden hue)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
- Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a bit of olive oil.
- Prepare the cauliflower: Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into bite-sized florets. For the best results, try to keep the pieces even in size, so they roast at the same rate.
- Season the cauliflower: In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Make sure all the pieces are well-coated with the seasoning mix. The olive oil helps the cauliflower crisp up in the oven, while the spices give it a savory kick.
- Roast: Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place it in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning the cauliflower halfway through. You want the cauliflower to become golden and crispy on the edges. For extra crispiness, you can broil it for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end, but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Garnish and serve: Once the cauliflower is roasted to perfection, remove it from the oven. If desired, sprinkle with a bit of Parmesan cheese for a rich, cheesy finish, and garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color. Serve immediately and enjoy!
