Cavolfiore croccante al forno

1. Preheat the oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
2. Prepare the cauliflower:
   • Wash the cauliflower and remove the leaves and core.
   • Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, making sure they are roughly the same size for even roasting.
3. Season the cauliflower:
   • In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, making sure they are well coated.
   • Add the garlic powder (or minced garlic), paprika, salt, pepper, and breadcrumbs (if using), and toss everything together.
   • Finally, mix in half of the grated Parmesan cheese to coat the cauliflower.
4. Roast the cauliflower:
   • Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
   • Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
5. Add the final touch:
   • In the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top of the cauliflower and return it to the oven to let the cheese melt and become golden.
6. Serve:
   • Once the cauliflower is done, remove it from the oven.
   • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
