Equipment

  • Food processor for cauliflower rice.
  • Roasting pan or air fryer baskets for easy cleanup.
  • Mixing bowls, tongs or spatula for tossing and flipping florets.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: ¼ cup grated Parmesan or nutritional yeast
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Cauliflower:

  • Trim the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. For a rice-like texture, pulse in a food processor using wide, short pulses.

Season and Roast:

  • In a large bowl, toss the florets with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Arrange them cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast at 425°F (220°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Finish and Garnish:

  • If using, sprinkle Parmesan or nutritional yeast over the cauliflower during the last 5 minutes of roasting. Once done, squeeze lemon juice over the top and garnish with chopped parsley.

Serve:

  • Enjoy as a side dish, over grains, or as a main course with your favorite protein.
