Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1.5 tablespoons sriracha
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 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 or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Cut the head of cauliflower into bite-sized florets and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, sriracha, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the spicy honey mixture over the cauliflower florets and toss until all the pieces are evenly coated.
Spread the coated cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap for even roasting.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even caramelization. The florets should be tender with crispy, golden edges.
Remove the cauliflower from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet.
Transfer the roasted cauliflower to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
