Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Slice the red and yellow bell peppers into thin strips and add them to the bowl with the cauliflower.
Peel and slice the red onion into wedges and add it to the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and maple syrup to create the seasoning mixture.
Pour the seasoning mixture over the vegetables and toss well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the vegetables cool slightly before serving.
Optionally, garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of green and freshness. Serve warm as a side dish or main course.
