- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the cauliflower. Cut it into evenly sized florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, ground turmeric, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Pour the spice mixture over the cauliflower florets and toss until they are evenly coated.
Spread the coated florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and slightly crisp. Stir halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting.
Once done, remove the cauliflower from the oven and transfer to a serving dish.
