Arrange in a single layer on the baking tray—don’t overcrowd for maximum crispiness.
Roast for 25–35 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Optional: Sprinkle Parmesan in the last 5 minutes for extra flavor.
Remove from oven, garnish with herbs, and serve hot.
🔥 Cooking Method
Oven Roasting Roasting at high heat caramelizes the cauliflower’s natural sugars, creating crispy edges and a deep, savory flavor that rivals roasted meat dishes.
