Ingredients:
- 1 medium cauliflower (cut into florets).
- 3 tablespoons olive oil.
- 2 cloves garlic (minced).
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika.
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs (for a crispy coating).
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan (or nutritional yeast for a vegan option).
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional).
Instructions:
- Prep the Cauliflower:
Wash and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Pat them dry to ensure they crisp up beautifully in the oven. - Season It Up:
In a large bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the cauliflower florets and toss until they’re well coated. - Add the Crunch:
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs and Parmesan (or nutritional yeast) over the cauliflower and toss again to ensure an even coating. - Bake to Perfection:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the cauliflower evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the florets are golden and crispy on the edges. - Serve and Enjoy:
Once out of the oven, garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Serve it as a side dish or even as a stand-alone snack—it’s that versatile!
