Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower, then cut it into bite-sized florets.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, for added color and flavor.
Serve immediately as a side dish or a light, healthy snack.
