Method

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Roasted Cauliflower

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to achieve that crispy texture.
Wash and cut cauliflower into bite-sized florets, discarding the thick stem.
Mix olive oil with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
Toss cauliflower florets in the seasoned oil mixture until evenly coated.
Spread the cauliflower on a lined baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping florets halfway through for even browning.
Check for doneness; should pierce easily with a fork and have a crispy exterior.
Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.
