Ingredients

3 cups cauliflower florets (washed and thoroughly dried; about 1 small head of cauliflower)
2 Tablespoons butter (melted)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (finely grated)
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Preheat oven to 425 degrees °F.
Toss cauliflower florets with melted butter in a large bowl. Check for pieces that are not coated with butter and toss again or use a silicone pastry brush to fill in those spots.
Combine Parmesan cheese, paprika and pepper and sprinkle over the butter-coated cauliflower florets that are still in the large bowl.
Cover with a tight-fitting lid. Gently toss to coat.
Arrange cauliflower in a single layer on baking sheet sprayed to prevent sticking.
Bake for 20 minutes or until edges begin to crisp.
Enjoy hot from the oven!
