Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 head of cauliflower cut into florets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon paprika or chili powder

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and cut the cauliflower into uniform florets.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Spread the seasoned cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25 to 30 minutes.
  6. About halfway through cooking, stir the cauliflower for even browning.
