Crispy roasted cauliflower is a delicious and healthier alternative to French fries. It’s golden and crunchy on the outside, tender inside, and full of flavor. This easy recipe uses simple ingredients and a double-roast method to get the perfect crisp.

To make it, cut cauliflower into bite-sized pieces and dry them well. Toss with oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Roast at 425°F for 20 minutes, flip, and roast another 10–15 minutes until crispy and golden. For extra crunch, broil for a minute or two at the end.

You can customize it by adding parmesan, buffalo sauce, or lemon and herbs. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce like ranch or spicy aioli. Don’t overcrowd the pan and use parchment paper to keep it crisp. Leftovers keep well and reheat nicely in an air fryer.

This roasted cauliflower is a tasty, simple snack or side dish that’s perfect for anyone looking for a lighter alternative to fries. Give it a try!
