Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets

  2. Toss cauliflower florets with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika if using. Spread on a baking sheet.
  3. Roast cauliflower in the oven for 25-30 minutes until golden and tender, stirring halfway through.
