Ingredients
  

  • 1 large head cauliflower cut into bite-sized florets
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1.5 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the ground cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil and minced garlic until lightly coated. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the top and toss again until the florets are evenly seasoned.
  4. Spread the cauliflower in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper roasting.
  5. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and has crispy, caramelized edges.
  6. Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley before serving.
