Baked Cauliflower

Instructions

1. Preheat oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare cauliflower:
   • In a large bowl, toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure each piece is coated evenly.
3. Bake:
   • Spread the florets in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and slightly crispy.
4. Add optional toppings:
   • If using Parmesan or nutritional yeast, sprinkle over the cauliflower in the last 5 minutes of baking.
5. Serve:
   • Remove from oven, garnish with parsley or a squeeze of lemon, and serve warm.

✅ Tips:

• For extra crispiness, don’t overcrowd the baking sheet.
• You can add a little chili powder or cayenne for a spicy kick.
• Leftovers reheat well in the oven or air fryer.

If you want, I can also give you a super quick garlic butter version that comes out perfectly tender and flavorful in just 15 minutes.

Do you want me to share that version too?
