½tspBlack pepper powder
1tspGround cumin
1tspPaprika
1tspGarlic powder
2tbspBreadcrumbs (preferably Panko for added crunch)
¼cupGrated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preparation: Preheat your oven to 425°F / 220°C/ Gas Mark 6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Tossing the Cauliflower: Combine cauliflower florets with olive oil in a large mixing bowl, ensuring that each floret is well-coated.
1 large Cauliflower head, 3 tbsp Olive oil
Seasoning: In a smaller bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder. Add the breadcrumbs and parmesan and combine well.
1 tsp Salt , ½ tsp Black pepper powder, 1 tsp Ground cumin, 1 tsp Paprika, 1 tsp Garlic powder, 2 tbsp Breadcrumbs , ¼ cup Grated Parmesan cheese
Toss - Sprinkle this mixture over the oiled cauliflower florets and toss until they are evenly coated.
Arranging on the Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there's space between the florets for even roasting. Pro tip - If the florets are too crowded, they may steam instead of roast.
Roasting - Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the cauliflower for 20-25 minutes or until the golden brown florets are crisp on the edges. Pro tip - Halfway through roasting, gently stir or flip the cauliflower to ensure even browning.
Serving - Remove the roasted cauliflower from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Transfer to a serving dish. Pro tip - If desired, sprinkle more grated Parmesan cheese or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on top for added flavor.
