Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower

- 1.5 teaspoons Curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika

- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Rinse the cauliflower and pat it dry. Remove the leaves and core, then cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
Step 3
Place the cauliflower florets into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the curry powder, ground turmeric, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the cauliflower and toss the florets until they are well coated with the spices.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned cauliflower evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the florets are not crowded to allow even roasting.
Step 7
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the florets are golden and tender with slightly crispy edges.
Step 8
Remove the cauliflower from the oven and let it cool for 2–3 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice for added freshness and brightness.
Step 9
Serve warm as a healthy side dish or a light main course. Enjoy your Calorie Wise Curried Cauliflower!
