- Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare cauliflower: Wash and cut into small florets. Pat dry to ensure crispiness.
- Season: In a large bowl, toss cauliflower with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add Parmesan if desired.
- Bake: Spread evenly on the baking sheet, leaving space between florets.
- Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve hot with your favorite dip — yogurt sauce, hummus, or simply squeeze fresh lemon on top.
✅ Tips for Extra Crispiness
- Make sure cauliflower is completely dry before seasoning.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan — space helps them crisp instead of steam.
- For a crunchier version, sprinkle a little panko bread crumbs before baking.
