Ingredients
1 medium cauliflower, sliced into small florets or 1/2” thick steaks
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt, or to taste
¼ tsp ground paprika
¼ tsp ground black pepper, or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425˚F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the cauliflower into 1/2″ thick steaks, and then break up the wedges into even, bite-sized florets.
- Place the cauliflower on the center of the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and melted butter, then toss to coat evenly.
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, salt, paprika, and pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the cauliflower and toss again to ensure an even coating.
- Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 425˚F, or until the cauliflower reaches your desired level of crispiness.
Notes
- For a vegan option, replace the butter with additional olive oil or a plant-based butter substitute.
- For cheesy roasted cauliflower, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese or your favorite cheese after baking.
- For a spicier version, add cayenne pepper or chili powder to the seasoning mix.
- Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley can be added before roasting for a fragrant twist.
