- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Trim the cauliflower and cut it into florets of uniform size. Place the florets in a large mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, turmeric, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour the olive oil mixture over the cauliflower florets, tossing them gently to coat evenly.
- Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not crowded. This will ensure that they roast evenly and develop a crispy texture.
- Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy, and the cauliflower is tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove the roasted cauliflower from the oven and transfer it to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro for a pop of color and freshness.
- Serve the roasted cauliflower with garlic and turmeric as a side dish or a main course. It pairs well with grilled chicken, fish, or tofu, or can be enjoyed on its own as a satisfying vegetarian option.
Tips for Success:
- Make sure to cut the cauliflower florets into uniform size to ensure even cooking.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet, as this can cause the cauliflower to steam rather than roast, resulting in a soggy texture.
- Feel free to adjust the seasonings to suit your taste preferences. You can add more or less garlic, turmeric, or paprika, depending on your preference for flavor intensity.
- For extra crispy cauliflower, you can broil it for a few minutes at the end of the cooking time to achieve a golden brown crust.
