Ingredients
Cauliflower
- 1 head of cauliflower (cut into florets)
Seasonings
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/3 cup powdered parmesan cheese
Others
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the cauliflower: Chop the head of cauliflower into florets, then slice them into long pieces that lay flat for even roasting.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Place the cut cauliflower evenly on a baking sheet to ensure proper cooking.
- Season: Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and parmesan cheese evenly over the cauliflower.
- Add olive oil and toss: Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture and toss well to coat all pieces thoroughly.
- Spread cauliflower: Spread out the coated cauliflower in an even layer on the baking sheet to promote crispy roasting.
- Roast: Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking. Watch carefully towards the end to prevent burning. Roast until the edges are crispy and golden.
Notes
- Use fresh cauliflower for best flavor and texture.
- Watch closely in the final minutes to avoid burning due to the parmesan cheese.
- For a stronger garlic flavor, you can add minced fresh garlic before roasting.
- Feel free to substitute grated parmesan with a vegetarian hard cheese if preferred.
- This dish pairs well with grilled meats or can be served as a healthy vegetarian side.
