Ingredients
  

1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

¼ cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare Cauliflower: Place the cauliflower florets in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.

      Season the Cauliflower: Add garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss again to ensure the florets are evenly coated with seasonings.

        Combine Cheese & Breadcrumbs: In a separate bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. This mixture will give your cauliflower a delightful crispy crust.

          Coat the Florets: Sprinkle the cheese and breadcrumb mixture over the seasoned cauliflower florets. Toss gently until all florets are well-coated with the cheesy mixture.

            Roast the Cauliflower: Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the florets are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

              Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a pop of color. Serve warm with lemon wedges to squeeze over for added zest.
