Method
 

How to Make
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Slice the head of cauliflower into even, bite-sized florets.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the florets with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  4. Spread the seasoned florets on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through.
  5. Once roasted, remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly and drizzle with lemon juice or extra olive oil.
  6. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy.

Notes

For even crispiness, ensure all florets are cut to similar sizes and do not skip on the seasoning.
