Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.75 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower head, then cut it into bite-sized florets.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, turmeric powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss well until all pieces are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the seasoned cauliflower onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden brown on the edges.
Remove the cauliflower from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice while still warm, tossing gently to coat.
Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own as a light, flavorful meal.
