Crispy Baked Cauliflower: The Ultimate Crunchy Delight

Learn how to make delicious Crispy Baked Cauliflower. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Feel free to substitute the Parmesan with nutritional yeast for a vegan option or swap the paprika for chili powder if you’re feeling adventurous. The beauty of cooking at home is that you can make it your own.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Ensure each floret is well-coated with the seasoning.
  3. Spread the seasoned cauliflower evenly on the prepared baking sheet, making sure there’s space between each piece for optimal crispiness.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  5. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese while still hot. The heat will melt the cheese into a delightful crust.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.

And there you have it! A dish that’s as easy as it is delightful. Remember, cooking is about experimenting and enjoying the process. If your kitchen looks like a tornado hit it, you’re doing it right!
