Crispy Roasted Cauliflower
Ingredients
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
Step-by-Step
Preheat your oven: Set it to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Prepare the cauliflower: Wash and thoroughly dry the head of cauliflower, then cut it into medium-sized florets for even cooking.
Season and coat: In a large bowl, toss the florets with olive oil to coat them evenly. Sprinkle the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the cauliflower and mix until everything is well distributed.
Add the crunch: Toss in the panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese (if using). Stir well or toss, ensuring the florets are evenly coated with the crumby mixture.
Arrange and roast: Spread the coated cauliflower in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet. Leave space between the florets for maximum crispiness.
Roast to perfection: Place in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden, crispy, and tender in the center.
Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
