Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower cut into small florets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup parmesan cheese freshly shredded
- 1 ½ teaspoons garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon turmeric
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Place the cauliflower florets onto a large baking sheet with rimmed edges.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower florets. Sprinkle the florets with the garlic salt and turmeric. Gently toss to coat the florets with the olive oil and spices.

- Bake for 30 minutes or until the florets start to brown.
- You can place the pan under the oven broiler for 2-3 minutes for more browning and crunch texture if desired.
Notes
Tip 1: Some ovens may need to be set at 475 degrees, but this was much too hot for my oven so I lowered it to 450 and cooked for 30 minutes. This can also change depending on the size of your cauliflower florets. I like to trim mine really small.
Tip 2: Turmeric stains things very easily. So be careful handling this spice!
Tip 3: You may find it easier to mix the cauliflower florets, olive oil, and spices in a bowl before placing them on the pan. I decided to do this as a one-pan recipe, easier cleanup!
