Introduction:

Golden, cheesy, and irresistibly crispy — this roasted cauliflower is your new favorite side dish. Perfect for weeknight dinners or healthy snacking! 💛

🕒 Prep Time: 10 min | Cook Time: 30 min | Total Time: 40 min

Ingredients:

• 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional for a smoky kick)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prep
   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Toss the Florets
   In a large bowl, combine cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
3. Add the Parmesan
   Sprinkle Parmesan over the cauliflower and toss again until all pieces are coated with cheesy goodness 🧀✨
4. Spread & Roast
   Arrange the florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure there’s space between them for maximum crisp!
5. Bake to Perfection
   Roast in the oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through. They should be golden and crispy on the edges.
6. Garnish & Serve
   Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately. Great as a side or snack!

Pro Tips:

• Want extra crisp? Broil for the last 2–3 minutes!
• Swap it out: Try using nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan for a vegan version.
• Meal prep magic: Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for crunch.
