Instructions:
- Preheat oven:
Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease. - Prepare cauliflower:
In a large bowl, toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, turmeric, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. - Arrange for baking:
Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. - Bake:
Bake for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until cauliflower is tender and lightly golden. - Add cheese (optional):
Sprinkle with grated cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking for a golden, melty topping. - Serve:
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm as a side dish or over grains for a light main.
💡 Tips:
- For extra crispiness, roast on a high heat and avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving for a fresh, tangy flavor.
- Mix in other vegetables like carrots or bell peppers for a colorful tray bake.
