Golden roasted cauliflower florets seasoned with smoked paprika, cumin, and garlic. Perfect as a side dish or healthy snack.
# What You'll Need:
→ Vegetables
01 - 1 large head cauliflower (approximately 1.75 pounds), cut into bite-sized florets
→ Oils
02 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
→ Spices & Seasonings
03 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
04 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
05 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
07 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
→ Garnish
08 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
09 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
# How to Prepare:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly until every floret is evenly coated with the spice mixture.
03 - Spread the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer across the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure proper caramelization and even cooking.
04 - Roast for 25 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through the cooking time. The cauliflower is done when golden brown with crispy edges and tender throughout.
05 - Remove from the oven. For enhanced flavor, drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving warm.
