📝 Ingredients

• 1 large Cauliflower head (cut into florets)
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Salt ((adjust to taste))
• 1/2 tsp Black pepper powder
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 2 tbsp Breadcrumbs ((preferably Panko for added crunch))
• 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preparation: Preheat your oven to 425°F / 220°C/ Gas Mark 6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. 2Tossing the Cauliflower: Combine cauliflower florets with olive oil in a large mixing bowl, ensuring that each floret is well-coated.
3. 3Seasoning: In a smaller bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder. Add the breadcrumbs and parmesan and combine well.
4. 4Toss - Sprinkle this mixture over the oiled cauliflower florets and toss until they are evenly coated.
5. 5Arranging 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.
6. 6Roasting - 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.
7. 7Serving - 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.
8. 8Serve immediately as a delicious side dish!
