Ingredients
  

1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets

4 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons ground turmeric

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon sea salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon cumin

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish

Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat 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. Make sure the florets are well-coated.

      Spice it up: Sprinkle the ground turmeric, smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, cumin, and red pepper flakes if using, over the cauliflower. Toss everything together until the florets are evenly coated with the spices.

        Spread on the baking sheet: Pour the seasoned cauliflower onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer for even roasting.

          Roast in the oven: Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the cauliflower halfway through, until golden brown and tender.

            Garnish and serve: Once roasted, remove from the oven and transfer the cauliflower to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing!
