1 large head cauliflower, trimmed and cut into bite-sized florets
2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) avocado oil or olive oil
¼ cup nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) dried chives
1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish (optional)
For extra crispy cauliflower, ensure the florets are completely dry before tossing with oil and do not overcrowd the baking sheet. Use two sheets if necessary.
If you're not avoiding dairy, you can substitute the nutritional yeast with an equal amount of freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a rich, authentic cheesy flavor.
To save time, you can chop the cauliflower and mix the dry seasonings up to 2 days in advance. Store them in separate airtight containers until you're ready to roast.

Directions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Place the cauliflower florets in a large bowl.
Drizzle with oil and toss thoroughly to ensure every piece is lightly coated.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the nutritional yeast, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, basil, oregano, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the oiled cauliflower.
Toss again until the florets are well-coated with the cheesy herb blend.
Spread the seasoned cauliflower in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure crispy results.
Roast for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender, golden brown, and has delightfully crispy edges.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
