A delightful and easy-to-make roasted cauliflower dish with a zesty garlic lemon flavor, perfect for any meal.
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Ensure your oven is fully preheated to achieve even roasting.
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and place them in an oven-proof baking dish.
Try to keep the florets similar in size for even cooking.
Mince the garlic cloves and sprinkle them over the cauliflower.
Freshly minced garlic provides a more robust flavor than pre-minced.
Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the cauliflower and drizzle with olive oil.
Roll the lemon on the counter before cutting to release more juice.
Sprinkle the cauliflower with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preferences.
Place the baking dish in the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown.
Stirring halfway ensures even roasting and prevents burning.
Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the roasted cauliflower with grated Parmesan cheese.
The heat from the cauliflower will melt the cheese slightly, enhancing the flavor.
Serve the roasted cauliflower warm as a side dish or a light main course.
Garnish with fresh herbs for a pop of color and added flavor.
