Ingredients
  

1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne for added heat

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Cauliflower: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.

      Season the Cauliflower: Add the ground turmeric, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Use your hands or a spatula to mix everything well, ensuring each floret is beautifully coated in the spices.

        Roast the Cauliflower: Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding the florets, as this will ensure they roast rather than steam.

          Bake: Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden brown and tender on the edges. For extra crispiness, you can broil it for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end.

            Finish and Serve: Once roasted, remove the cauliflower from the oven. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss gently to combine. Garnish with fresh parsley and, if desired, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or cayenne for a bit of heat.

              Enjoy! Serve the Golden Turmeric Roasted Cauliflower warm as a side dish or as part of a grain bowl, salad, or wrap.
