Ingredients
- 1 medium cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

- For extra crunch, sprinkle a handful of breadcrumbs with the Parmesan mixture.
- Pair with a squeeze of lemon juice for added brightness.

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet
Roast for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the florets are tender and golden brown with crispy edges

NOTE: THE SPICES went in on top of the olive oil when I discussed the oven temperature. Then stirred in

Perfect, indeed. I love how you handled trimming the cauliflower. You're really teaching the best of everything: real world cooking for real families, practical and non-fussy BUT high-quality, attention to detail and best practices. You're right, so many channels are ultra fussy and don't address how people actually live. The other end of the spectrum is slapped-together processed junk. What you do is teach high quality chef-level cooking that can be done in a real home kitchen. That's one of the reasons why you're so loved and appreciated and have such a loyal following.

[SharonKenny-lw]

At last, a chef that doesn’t freak out at any ‘imperfection’, I cannot stand waste either

[priscillajoseph]

Great way to enjoy cauliflower. I agree not to waste, I trim when I need to. Still good food!

[diane]

Rik you could make a silk purse from a sows ear, your skill in turning something that may have ended up in the bin into a first class starter

Thank you Rik, i have never seen so many tasty recipes until you appeared on youtube and you'l do for me 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[jodyschwimmer]

Wow you are cooking up a storm! New dishes every day! I love your recipes. Thank you!

[DutchJoan]

Yummie!! 😋😃👍🏻
That's some layering of taste. Thanks a lot for sharing this, I'm all for it to try smoked paprika instead of the usual nutmeg.

[telebubba]

Indeed, no need to waste good food. Very nice of you to point that out. Vegetables used to be never 'perfect' like they are today and the dishes were actually even more delicious and tasteful. Love the roasted florets with Parmesan, it's one of my favourites.😋

[georgekostaras]

You’re been super productive this holiday season

[davidhuggan]

Oh wow yum!! We love cauliflower in our house

[davidmurphy]

Another belting side dish Rik … & hands up 🙋‍♀️ I’m guilty of always boiling my cauliflower & smothering in white or cheese sauce. I will certainly try roasting it in the oven next time, covered in that Parmesan & buttery breadcrumbs it looks fantastic!👌 I’m lagging behind a bit with your videos atm, can’t keep up with you, you’re certainly on a roll … your energy levels are amazing, but don’t overdo it, we need you in good health & fine fettle my friend! xx 🥰👨🏼‍🍳👍🫶

[janwong]

As much as I love cauliflower cheese this is an equally delicious lighter version, thank you Rik my friend 👍

[incanada]

Fabulous! Easy on the stomach and full of surprising flavors.😲 Thank you for a different and appetizing twist on a humble cauliflower recipe 💐.
You are such an inspiration👏👍. Waste not, want not.😊
I never waste anything if it can be cut-around, cut off, frozen, dehydrated or canned.

[sharonwilliams]

CHEF RIK I LOVE IT WHEN YOU SAYS THIS IS A COOKING CHANNEL (AND DO NOT WASTE) 🤦

Thank you Rik for the best cooking channel on YouTube. Food we would actually like to eat and everything properly explained. The finished dish always looks fantastic.

[AndyCabernet]

Omg another incredible dish - I've always loved roasted cauliflower but this recipe takes it to another level - can't wait to try it - thanks Rik

[PAM-udlv]

Omg another amazing recipe. I often roast my cauliflower with paprika even for a soup. Makes it taste really nutty I have never put Parmesan and buttery breadcrumbs will give this a go My mouth is watering. Thanks Rik once again. Fantastic. Take care.

[susan_elizabeth]

Looks delicious, Rik! I think I'll make it this way today, as I haven't cooked it like this in a long time. I never thought of adding Paprika!
Thanks for sharing! 💜

[janechapman]

Looks stunning. I'll definitely be using this recipe. Delicious with peri peri sauce!

[Boyhowdy]
