Ingredients You’ll Need
(Simple pantry staples!)
1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
3 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika (for depth!)
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt (or to taste)
¼ tsp black pepper
Optional upgrades:
Parmesan cheese (for a cheesy crust)
Buffalo sauce (toss after roasting)
Lemon zest + herbs (bright & fresh)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Cauliflower (Key for crispiness!)
Cut evenly – Florets should be bite-sized (too big = soggy centers).
Dry thoroughly – Pat with paper towels (moisture is the enemy of crispiness!).

2. Season & Oil Generously

Massage well – Every floret should be coated (this prevents dryness).
