Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash the cauliflower under cool water, remove leaves and stem, then cut into bite-sized florets.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Toss the cauliflower florets in the mixing bowl until they are well-coated with the seasoned oil.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the coated florets in a single layer.
  6. Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
  7. Check for doneness by piercing florets with a fork; they should be tender and crispy.
  8. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.
