Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs cauliflower florets see "chef tips" note #2
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 - 2 cups grated Parmesan cheese freshly grated is best
- minced fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Prepare
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper if desired. Set aside.
Cup of Yum
Combine spices and oil
- In a small bowl, add olive oil, paprika, Italian seasoning, black pepper, chili powder, and salt. Stir well combine.
Toss with cauliflower
- Add cauliflower florets to a large mixing bowl. Pour spice/oil mixture over the top and stir well combine, making sure each floret is coated.
Bake
- Transfer cauliflower to prepared baking sheet, adding the florets in a single layer, with a little space around each floret.
- Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle evenly with Parmesan cheese. Return to the oven and bake another 5 minutes, or until golden brown and cheese is melted (crisping a bit at the edges is even better).
Serve
- Serve hot, sprinkled with minced fresh parsley .
Notes
- I've estimated this recipe serves approximately 4, but the exact size and amount of the servings is up to you.
- If you're using a head of cauliflower, look for one weighing around 2 - 2 1/2 lbs. The estimated amount of cups of florets, is 4.
- For best results, try to have all the cauliflower florets be similar in size, so they cook evenly.
- All ovens cook differently, and florets can vary in size, so please use the cooking times as a guide, rather than strict timelines.
