Ingredients

1 medium head of cauliflower cut into flowerets
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp ground cumin
salt & pepper to taste
1/4 cup Manchego cheese optional
chopped fresh parsley for garnish optional

Instructions

Preheat over to 425°. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cauliflower flowerets, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt and pepper. Toss until flowerets are evenly coated.
Spread seasoned cauliflower flowerets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Be sure they are not crowded to ensure crispiness.
Roast in preheated over for 25-30 minutes, stirring half way through until cauliflower is golden brown and crispy on the edges.
During the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle the cauliflower with grated cheese for a cheesy crust.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired and serve immediately.

Tips:

BEFORE adding grated cheese, for extra crispiness, turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking time, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
