Step-by-Step Instructions for Baked Cauliflower

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, add your chopped cauliflower florets and drizzle in olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss until the florets are evenly coated.
Take a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the cauliflower for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
During the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Once roasted to perfection, remove from the oven and serve hot.
