Ingredients:

1 cauliflower
840g
2 tsp ground cumin
18g
2 tbsp turmeric powder
14g
1 tbsp vegetable oil
14g
1 tsp salt
6g
1 tsp black pepper
2.10g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Cauliflower:
- Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower.
- Cut the cauliflower into medium-sized florets, discarding the core if necessary.
3. Mix the Spices:
- 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.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet:
- 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.
6. Roast the Cauliflower:
- 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.
7. Serve:
- 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.
8. Enjoy:
- 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.

With minimal ingredients and simple steps, this cumin-turmeric spiced roasted cauliflower is a dish you'll want to make over and over again. The golden hue and the aromatic spices will turn your humble cauliflower into a crowd-pleasing favorite. Enjoy this flavorful and nutritious addition to your meal plan.
