Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower cut into florets
- 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Fresh lemon juice and/or freshly grated parmesan cheese optional, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425F and move the rack to the top third of the oven.
- Cut the cauliflower into florets and pat them dry with paper towel. Place them on a baking sheet (line it with foil for easy clean-up) and pour the olive oil over top. Toss with your hands, and then sprinkle on the salt & pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika, and toss again until nicely coated. Don't crowd the pan or it won't brown properly.
- Roast, uncovered, for 25-28 minutes or until tender and golden with some delicious browned parts. Toss/flip the cauliflower pieces halfway through roasting so they don't burn on one side.
- For next-level flavor, squeeze on some fresh lemon juice and/or sprinkle on some freshly grated parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
