Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Oven Roasted Cauliflower

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and thoroughly dry a fresh head of cauliflower. Cut into bite-sized florets.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes.
Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the cauliflower for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately as a side dish, snack, or salad topper.
