Instructions

1. Prep the cauliflower

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Cut cauliflower into bite-size florets.

3. Rinse and pat dry very well (dry florets = better browning).

1. Place florets in a bowl or on a baking sheet.

2. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and spices until evenly coated.

3. Bake

1. Spread cauliflower out on a baking sheet in a single layer.

2. Bake 25–35 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until:

   • edges are golden and crisp

   • centers are tender

4. Serve

• Enjoy as a side dish, snack, or add to bowls, salads, or pasta.

⭐ Tips for Better Roasting

• Use high heat (425°F+) for caramelization.

• Don’t overcrowd the pan—crowding = steaming.

• Add Parmesan in the last 5 minutes for a cheesy crust.
