Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet with butter or olive oil. Set aside.
  • Add cauliflower florets to a large bowl and drizzle with melted butter. Toss well until florets are well coated.
  • Sprinkle parmesan cheese, paprika, salt and pepper over the butter-coated cauliflower florets. Mix all the ingredients together to combine.
  • Arrange cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes or until edges begin to crisp.

Notes

  • You can buy pre-cut cauliflower to save time on prepping.
  • Dry cauliflower very well and wring out extra moisture with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. 
  • For best results, shred a block of fresh parmesan cheese.
  • Don't overcrowd your baking sheet. Leave a little space between florets when roasting.
  • To store: Store leftover cauliflower bites in an airtight glass container for up to 4 days in the fridge. You can also use a silicone or Ziploc bag to store them.
  • To reheat: Reheat in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds. You can also reheat in the oven, toaster oven or an air fryer at 400°F (I prefer these methods over the microwave as bites will get crispy again).
  • To freeze: Transfer the cauliflower bites to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
