Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the cauliflower florets in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
- Add the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika to the bowl. Toss again until the cauliflower is well coated with the seasonings.
- Spread the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- Roast for 20 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the hot cauliflower.
- Return the cauliflower to the oven and roast for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the cauliflower are lightly browned and crispy.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, ensure the cauliflower florets are dry before tossing them with oil.
- If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder along with the salt and pepper.
- To prevent the cheese from burning, add it only during the last part of the cooking time.
