Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 medium cauliflower, cut into florets Choose whatever is on sale, organic is nice but budget wins!
  • 3 tbsp olive oil Extra Virgin Olive Oil adds a luxurious touch.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder Convenient and saves mincing time.
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika Adds that smoky warmth; use more if you like it spicy!
  • to taste salt and black pepper Go light on the salt; you can always add more.
  • half a lemon juice Adds zing; lemon zest is also a nice touch.
  • fresh parsley, chopped (optional) Great for presentation.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (450°F). This ensures the cauliflower roasts beautifully.
  2. Toss the cauliflower florets in a bowl with the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
  3. Spread the coated florets onto a baking sheet in a single layer to avoid steaming.
Cooking
  1. Roast the cauliflower for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  2. Once done, squeeze the lemon juice over the roasted cauliflower and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
