Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
Prepare Cauliflower: Slice the cauliflower into 1/2″ thick steaks or break it into even, bite-sized florets for uniform cooking.
Coat with Oil and Butter: Place the cauliflower in the center of the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and melted butter, then toss well to coat all pieces evenly.
Season: In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, salt, paprika, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the cauliflower and toss again to ensure even coverage.
Arrange and Roast: Spread the seasoned cauliflower pieces evenly in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they achieve your desired level of crispiness and golden color.
