Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower

• 总时间: 46 minutes

配料

1 medium head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

3 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, finely minced

1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional, for color)

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning or dried oregano

1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Optional add-ins: chili flakes, lemon zest, or a squeeze of lemon juice after roasting

步骤

Preheat your oven to 220°C / 425°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, add the cauliflower florets. Drizzle with olive oil and toss well so everything is evenly coated.

Add garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Toss again until the cauliflower is well seasoned.

Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the baking tray. Make sure it’s not crowded — this helps it roast instead of steam.

Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway, until the cauliflower is tender and lightly golden.

Remove the tray from the oven and sprinkle parmesan evenly over the cauliflower.

Return to the oven and roast for another 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese melts and turns golden and crispy.

Remove from oven, garnish with fresh parsley and optional chili flakes or lemon juice. Serve hot.

Pro tips

For extra crispiness, use freshly grated parmesan (not pre-shredded)

Broil for the last 1–2 minutes if you want a deeper golden crust

Air fryer version: cook at 190°C / 375°F for 14–16 minutes, shaking once, then add parmesan and cook 3–4 more minutes
