cauliflower baked
Delicious cauliflower baked in the oven is a simple, healthy, and quick recipe that anyone can prepare at home. Start by washing a fresh cauliflower and cutting it into medium-sized florets. Boil them lightly in salted water for 3–4 minutes, then drain well.
Preheat your oven to 200°C. In a large bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and a pinch of chili flakes for extra flavor. Toss the cauliflower florets until they are evenly coated with the seasoning. Spread them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, turning once halfway, until golden brown and crispy on the edges. For extra taste, sprinkle grated cheese or fresh herbs like parsley before serving. This oven-baked cauliflower is perfect as a snack, side dish, or light meal.
