Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Cauliflower
Wash the cauliflower thoroughly and pat it dry with a kitchen towel.
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, ensuring they are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
Step 3: Coat the Cauliflower
In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, making sure they are evenly coated.
In a separate small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese (if using), garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the cauliflower and toss until all florets are well-coated. Press the coating gently onto the florets for better adherence.
Step 4: Arrange on the Baking Sheet
Spread the coated cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the florets are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.
