1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Toss the cauliflower florets in olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. For extra flavor, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
3. Roast Until Crispy
Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the florets are golden brown and crispy on the edges.

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm as a snack or side dish. For a fun twist, pair it with a yogurt-based dip, spicy aioli, or your favorite sauce.
Tips for the Best Crispy Cauliflower
- Dry the Florets: Make sure the cauliflower is dry before roasting to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Give each floret space to roast evenly and get crispy edges.
- Customize Flavors: Try curry powder, chili flakes, or lemon zest for different flavor profiles.
Crispy roasted cauliflower is not only delicious but also nutritious, providing fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. It’s a simple, versatile snack that everyone will love, making it a perfect addition to any meal or a healthy alternative to traditional fried snacks.
