🛒 Ingredients:
1 large cauliflower head (cut into florets)
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp cornstarch (for extra crispiness)
1 tsp garlic powder

Set your oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Olive oil
Cornstarch
Garlic powder, paprika, turmeric
Salt, pepper, chili flakes
Mix until everything is evenly coated.
Arrange for roasting
Spread florets in a single layer (don’t overcrowd—this is key for crispiness!).

Golden brown
Crispy on the edges
Optional finishing touch

🔥 Tips for EXTRA crispiness:
Dry cauliflower really well before cooking

Don’t overcrowd the tray
Add a final 2–3 minutes under the broiler if needed
