by

Step 1: Preheat

  • Heat oven to 220°C (425°F).
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment.

Step 2: Season

  • Toss cauliflower with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic, and any optional spices.
  • Make sure every floret is lightly coated.

Step 3: Arrange

  • Spread in a single layer (don’t overcrowd—this is key for crispiness).

Step 4: Bake

  • Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway.
  • Cauliflower should be golden with crisp edges.

Step 5: Finish

  • Optional: Sprinkle Parmesan and return to oven 3–5 minutes.
  • Or finish with lemon zest and herbs for freshness.
