Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground curry powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Separate the head of cauliflower into bite-sized florets and give them a quick rinse. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel to remove any excess moisture.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, curry powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create the sweet and spicy marinade.

Step 4

Add the cauliflower florets to the mixing bowl, and toss them well until each piece is evenly coated with the marinade.

Step 5

Spread the coated cauliflower florets evenly on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they're in a single layer for even roasting.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through for an even caramelization. The edges should turn golden and slightly crispy.

Step 7

Remove the roasted cauliflower from the oven and drizzle the lemon juice over the florets for a burst of freshness.

Step 8

Transfer the florets to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for an added herbal touch.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish or as a standalone snack. Enjoy the sweet, spicy, and aromatic flavors!
