- In a mixing bowl, toss the florets with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Cooking

Notes
For added flavor, consider marinating the cauliflower in the olive oil and spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking. If you prefer an even crunchier texture, try using a light coating of breadcrumbs or nutritional yeast along with the spices. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
