Description
This Crispy Roasted Cauliflower with Garlic and Herbs is a simple yet flavorful side dish. Cauliflower florets are roasted to golden perfection with garlic, herbs, and a touch of lemon for a deliciously crisp and aromatic result.
Ingredients
- 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine cauliflower florets, olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until well coated.
- Spread the cauliflower evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Remove from the oven, drizzle with lemon juice if using, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Make sure cauliflower florets are similar in size for even roasting.
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
- Add grated parmesan for a cheesy variation.
