Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons Curry powder
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional 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

Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, discarding the stem and leaves.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the curry powder, turmeric, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, plain yogurt, olive oil, and lemon juice to create a marinade.

Step 4

Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the marinade. Let the cauliflower sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors (optional but recommended).

Step 5

Spread the marinated cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.

Step 6

Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the florets are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 7

Remove the cauliflower from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve warm as a side dish or as the main component of a vegetarian meal.
