Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the cauliflower:
Place the cauliflower florets in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss well so that all pieces are evenly coated.
Add the seasoning:
Sprinkle the cauliflower with paprika, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss to distribute the spices evenly.
Arrange on the baking sheet:
Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet so it cooks evenly.
Bake:
Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning the pieces halfway through. The cauliflower should be golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Finish:
If using Parmesan or breadcrumbs, sprinkle them over the cauliflower as soon as it’s removed from the oven, while it’s still warm, for added flavor and texture.
