Ingredients
  

1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Cauliflower: In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

      Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the cauliflower and toss again until the florets are well-coated with cheese.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the cauliflower evenly on the prepared baking sheet, making sure the florets are in a single layer for maximum crispiness.

          Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through the cooking time.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and transfer the roasted cauliflower to a serving platter. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
