Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Wash and trim the cauliflower, then cut it into bite-sized florets. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, turmeric powder, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until smooth.

Step 4

Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until the spices evenly coat each piece.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even roasting.

Step 6

Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender.

Step 7

Remove the cauliflower from the oven and transfer it to a serving dish. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 8

Serve warm as a side dish, or enjoy it as a healthy snack or meal on its own.
