Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Rinse the cauliflower and pat it dry with a kitchen towel. Cut it into small, bite-sized florets, discarding the thick core and leaves.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cumin, curry powder, garlic powder, ground turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the spices are evenly mixed with the oil.
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss well to ensure every piece is coated in the seasoned oil mixture.
Spread the cauliflower evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure the florets have some space between them for better roasting.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the florets are tender and golden brown in spots.
Remove the cauliflower from the oven and let it cool for 1-2 minutes. If desired, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve warm with optional lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finish. Enjoy as a side dish or a flavorful plant-based main!
