Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with cooking oil.
In a large bowl, toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Spread cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the cauliflower.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Notes

Add a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes for a spicy kick.

Substitute Parmesan with nutritional yeast for a dairy-free version.

Finish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for added flavor and color.

Serve with dipping sauces like ranch or marinara for extra indulgence.

Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat in oven or air fryer for best texture.

Avoid reheating in the microwave to prevent sogginess.

Air fryer method: Cook at 375°F for 15–18 minutes, shaking halfway through.
