Ingredients

Scale

The key to this dish lies in selecting the right ingredients. Fresh cauliflower and quality Parmesan are must-haves. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon zest for a fresh pop of flavor

If you don’t have Parmesan on hand, Pecorino Romano is a fantastic substitute. And for those looking to add a bit of spice, a pinch of red pepper flakes can do wonders.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
  3. Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 25 minutes, then sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
  5. Continue roasting for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cauliflower is golden and crispy.
  6. If using, sprinkle lemon zest over the roasted cauliflower before serving.

Remember, the secret to perfect roast cauliflower is space! Give those florets some room to breathe so they roast instead of steam.
