Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Optional: 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for extra crispiness)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. If using, sprinkle the cornstarch over the florets and toss again until lightly coated.
- Spread the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary for best crisping.
- Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through the cooking time.
- Continue roasting until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately with your preferred dipping sauce.
Notes
- For air fryer cooking, cook at 400°F (200°C) for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- To make a spicy aioli, mix 1/2 cup mayonnaise with 1 to 2 tablespoons sriracha and 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
- Do not wash the cauliflower after cutting; pat it very dry if you wash it before seasoning.
