Clean the cauliflower: separate the florets from each other, rinse them and boil them in plenty of lightly salted water. Drain them while still al dente and place them in a bowl; add a generous splash of oil, the grated cheese, the breadcrumbs, black pepper and paprika.
Gently mix everything, then transfer to a baking dish and bake at 392°F for 20 minutes or until you achieve the desired golden color. Serve hot or warm as an appetizer or side dish.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container and consume within 2 days after reheating. Of course, if eaten right away they will be crunchier and more delightful.
