Crispy Roasted Cauliflower: A Flavorful, Crispy Delight

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the Cauliflower
Cut the cauliflower into evenly sized florets to ensure they cook at the same rate. Pat them dry with a paper towel—this step helps with crispiness.

3. Season the Cauliflower
In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Make sure each floret is well coated. If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the cauliflower and toss again.

4. Roast Until Crispy
Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and crispy.

5. Serve and Enjoy
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
