Ingredients
  

1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup panko bread crumbs

1/4 cup olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon redpepper flakes (optional for a kick)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Cauliflower: Wash the cauliflower and cut it into bite-sized florets. Ensure they are relatively uniform for even cooking.

      Make the Coating: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko bread crumbs, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

        Coat the Cauliflower: Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower florets and toss until all pieces are well coated. Then, sprinkle the cheese and breadcrumb mixture over the cauliflower and toss gently until every floret is thoroughly covered.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated cauliflower florets out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren't overcrowded to achieve maximum crispiness.

            Roast the Cauliflower: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy. Flip the florets halfway through cooking for even browning.

              Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, remove the cauliflower from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

                Enjoy your Crispy Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower Delight as a savory side dish or a tasty snack!
