Ingredients
Cauliflower
- 1 pound cauliflower florets
Seasoning
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1.5 teaspoons paprika
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400° Fahrenheit (200° Celsius) to ensure it’s ready for roasting the cauliflower.
- Prepare Cauliflower: Divide the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and place them into a large bowl for seasoning.
- Season Cauliflower: Drizzle the olive oil over the florets. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss thoroughly until all florets are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Roast Cauliflower: Spread the seasoned florets on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for about 30 minutes, tossing the florets once or twice during cooking to promote even browning. The cauliflower should be lightly browned and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Serve: Once roasted, serve the cauliflower hot as a delicious side dish to complement your meal.
Notes
- Adjust salt to taste or dietary restrictions.
- Paprika adds a smoky flavor, but you can substitute with smoked paprika for a deeper taste or omit for a milder flavor.
