Crispy Roasted Cauliflower is a simple, healthy side dish made with just a few ingredients. It roasts to golden perfection with caramelized edges and a tender interior, making it a flavorful and versatile addition to any meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place cauliflower florets in a large bowl.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil and season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the baking sheet, without overcrowding.
  5. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy on the edges.
  6. Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • Make sure cauliflower is dry before roasting for maximum crispiness.
  • Add smoked paprika or cumin for extra flavor.
  • Sprinkle Parmesan before roasting for added crunch.
  • Drizzle lemon juice or balsamic glaze before serving for a tangy twist.
  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crisp texture.
