Ingredients
  

1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup breadcrumbs (panko recommended for extra crunch)

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Optional: lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Cauliflower: In a large mixing bowl, combine cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure each floret is evenly coated.

      Add Cheese and Breadcrumbs: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs over the cauliflower mixture. Toss again until the florets are thoroughly covered with the crispy mixture.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the cauliflower evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure to leave some space between each piece for even roasting.

          Roasting: Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the florets are golden brown and crispy. Toss halfway through to ensure even cooking.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove the cauliflower from the oven, and let it cool slightly. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color, and serve with lemon wedges on the side if desired.
