Instructions:
- Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower.
- Cut the cauliflower into medium-sized florets, discarding the core if necessary.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground cumin, turmeric powder, vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
4. Toss the Cauliflower:
- Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl with the spices.
- Toss the florets thoroughly in the marinade, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the spice mixture.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with vegetable oil.
- Spread the spiced cauliflower florets in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even roasting.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast the cauliflower for 25-30 minutes, or until the florets are tender and have golden-brown edges. Make sure to flip the florets halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
- Remove the roasted cauliflower from the oven.
- Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley, if desired.
- Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy as a healthy snack.
Tips:
- Choose a fresh cauliflower with creamy white florets and minimal blemishes for the best results.
- Cut the cauliflower into uniform florets to ensure even roasting.
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving.
- Make sure to coat all the cauliflower pieces evenly with the spice mixture for consistent taste.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Roasting time may vary based on your oven, so keep an eye on the cauliflower to avoid burning.
