Creating Healthy Baked Cauliflower can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Cauliflower: Wash the cauliflower and remove the leaves and stem. Cut it into bite-sized florets.
3. Make the Seasoning Blend: In a large bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
4. Coat the Cauliflower: Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss them in the seasoning mixture until well-coated.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the cauliflower evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are in a single layer for even cooking.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through. Cook until golden and crispy.
7. Optional – Add Cheese: In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the florets if desired.
8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.

Following these steps will ensure that your Healthy Baked Cauliflower turns out perfectly browned and flavor-packed every time.
