🥦 Crispy Roasted Cauliflower Recipe

Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30–40 minutes
Total Time: 40–50 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

• 3 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (or regular paprika)

• ½ teaspoon turmeric (optional, for color and subtle flavor)

• ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for extra crispiness and flavor)

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for extra crispiness)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup.

2. Prepare Cauliflower:
   Wash and dry the cauliflower. Cut into uniform, bite-sized florets.

3. Season:
   In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, turmeric, salt, pepper, and cornstarch. Toss the cauliflower florets in the mixture until well-coated. If using Parmesan, add it now and toss again.

4. Spread on Baking Sheet:
   Spread the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure there’s a little space between florets so they roast instead of steam.

5. Roast:
   Roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Roast until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy on the edges.

6. Optional Finish:
   For extra crispiness, broil on high for 2–3 minutes at the end — just keep an eye on it to avoid burning.

7. Serve:
   Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh parsley, a squeeze of lemon juice, or a drizzle of tahini sauce.
