Ingredients

• 1 head (medium, about 2 pounds) Cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Red chili flakes
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and place them into a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, turmeric, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes.

Step 4

Pour the spice mixture over the cauliflower florets and toss them until they're evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the tangy glaze. In a small bowl, mix the honey, fresh lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of water.

Step 8

After 20 minutes of roasting, remove the cauliflower from the oven and drizzle the tangy glaze over the florets. Use a spoon or spatula to toss them gently, ensuring the glaze is evenly distributed.

Step 9

Return the cauliflower to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes, or until the edges are golden and caramelized.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
