Ingredients

Cauliflower Bites:

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower (about 1 to 1.5 pounds), cut into bite-sized florets

Seasoning:

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon paprika or cayenne pepper for added spice

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare Cauliflower: Wash and dry the cauliflower thoroughly, then cut it into uniform bite-sized florets.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add any optional seasonings if desired.
  4. Coat the Cauliflower: Toss the cauliflower florets in the mixture until they are evenly coated.
  5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the cauliflower and toss again until all pieces are well coated.
  6. Bake: Spread the cauliflower on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, with your favorite dipping sauce!

Notes

  • For extra crunch, consider adding toasted breadcrumbs to the mix.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
