Ingredients

Scale

1 large head of cauliflower, cored and cut into florets
2–3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
3–4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare Cauliflower: Wash and cut the cauliflower into evenly sized florets.
Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheese, ensuring all the florets are well-coated.
Roast: Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden and crispy.
Serve: Once the cauliflower is golden brown and crisp, remove from the oven and sprinkle with additional Parmesan if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
Feel free to add chili flakes for a spicy kick or herbs like thyme for a flavor twist.
