A simple yet incredibly delicious roasted cauliflower recipe with crispy Parmesan cheese, garlic, and herbs. Perfect as a side dish or snack for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Pinch of salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
  2. Wash and dry the cauliflower thoroughly. Remove the leaves and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets, olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss until the florets are evenly coated.
  4. Spread the cauliflower out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding; you want each piece to roast evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese generously over the cauliflower. Save a little extra Parmesan for serving, if desired.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Look for golden-brown edges and a crispy texture.
  7. Once roasted to perfection, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, if desired.

Notes

[‘Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure even roasting and maximum crispiness.’, ‘Use fresh Parmesan cheese for better flavor and texture.’, ‘For extra crunch, sprinkle some panko breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan over the cauliflower before roasting.’, ‘Add a pinch of chili flakes or cayenne pepper for heat.’, ‘Turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes for extra browning.’]
