🧂 Ingredients & Quantities
(Serves 2–4 as a side or snack)
1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
2–3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp turmeric (optional for color & anti-inflammatory boost)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp nutritional yeast or grated Parmesan (optional but highly recommended)
—
✨ Optional Additions
1 tbsp hot sauce or sriracha (for spicy lovers)
1 tbsp lemon juice (for brightness)
Fresh herbs: parsley, cilantro, or thyme
Dip it! Serve with hummus, tahini sauce, or vegan ranch
Sprinkle sesame seeds or chili flakes before serving for texture & heat

✅ Tips for Success
Dry your cauliflower thoroughly before roasting — moisture = sogginess.
Cut florets evenly so they roast at the same rate.
Don’t overcrowd the pan — give each piece space for max crispiness.
Use high heat (400–425°F / 200–220°C) to get that perfect golden edge.
Flip halfway through baking for even browning.
Line your tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
