Crispy Roasted Cauliflower Recipe with Parmesan
This crispy roasted cauliflower recipe is one of my favorite ways to turn a humble veggie into something snackable, craveable, and totally irresistible. With a handful of simple ingredients and a hot oven, you’ll get those golden brown, cheesy edges that practically melt in your mouth.
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower about 4 cups, chopped into florets
- 3 tablespoon Olive Oil
- ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon Paprika
- ⅓ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- ½ medium lemon juiced *optional*
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, add cauliflower florets, olive oil, kosher salt, garlic powder, paprika, and parmesan cheese and toss to coat.
- Using your largest sheet pan (or two if needed), spread the cauliflower into a single layer - making sure that the cut side of each pieces is facing down.
- Roast for 30–40 minutes, flipping only if needed (try not to move it around if you don't have to), or until the cauliflower is crispy and fork tender.
- Remove from heat and season with more salt and pepper if needed. Optionally, drizzle with lemon juice for some acid.
Notes
Make sure that each cut of cauliflower has as flat edge so that it can crispy up and get super crunchy from the heat off the baking sheet.
