Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 medium cauliflower
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric (ground)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Cut the cauliflower into small florets, similar in size to popcorn kernels.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with the olive oil, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and turmeric until evenly coated.
Baking
  1. Spread the cauliflower mixture on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  2. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden and crispy.
  3. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Best served warm. Can be enjoyed plain or with dips like hummus or yogurt sauce. Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days and reheat in the oven to regain crispiness.
