Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into bite-sized florets.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, turmeric powder, paprika, garlic powder, lemon juice, orange zest, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until a smooth glaze forms.
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until they are well coated with the glaze.
Spread the coated cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cauliflower pieces are tender and lightly golden at the edges.
Remove the roasted cauliflower from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
If desired, garnish with fresh parsley before serving for an extra pop of color and flavor.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own.
