Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Roasted Cauliflower

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut cauliflower into bite-sized florets and toss them with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until coated.
Spread the seasoned florets in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle Parmesan cheese over hot florets if using, allowing it to slightly melt.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving warm as a snack or side dish.
