- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Begin by removing the outer leaves from the cauliflower head and cut it into bite-sized florets.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, curry powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, ground turmeric, salt, and ground black pepper.
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss them in the spice mixture until they are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and lightly browned.
While the cauliflower is roasting, roughly chop the fresh cilantro and cut the lemon into wedges.
Remove the cauliflower from the oven and transfer it to a serving dish.
Garnish with the chopped cilantro and serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
Serve warm and enjoy your Whole30 Curried Cauliflower as a delicious side dish or a light main course.
