PREPARATION:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Cauliflower

1. Wash the cauliflower thoroughly and pat it dry with a kitchen towel.
2. Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, ensuring they are evenly sized for uniform cooking.

Step 3: Coat the Cauliflower

1. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, making sure they are evenly coated.
2. In a separate small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese (if using), garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
3. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the cauliflower and toss until all florets are well-coated. Press the coating gently onto the florets for better adherence.

Step 4: Arrange on the Baking Sheet

1. Spread the coated cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the florets are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.

Step 5: Roast the Cauliflower

1. Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning the florets halfway through to ensure even browning.
2. The cauliflower is done when it is golden brown and crispy on the edges. If desired, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness.

Step 6: Prepare the Dipping Sauce (Optional)

1. While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, hot sauce, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
2. Adjust the seasoning to taste and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

1. Remove the roasted cauliflower from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
2. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce or your favorite condiments.

Enjoy !
