Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Rinse the cauliflower and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the yogurt, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until all pieces are evenly coated with the yogurt-Dijon mixture.
Spread the coated cauliflower florets onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and slightly browned on the edges.
Remove the cauliflower from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own.
