Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower florets
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper until a smooth sauce forms.

Step 4

Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until the florets are evenly coated with the sauce.

Step 5

Spread the coated cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.

Step 6

Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through cooking, until the florets are golden and slightly caramelized on the edges.

Step 7

Once roasted, transfer the cauliflower to a serving plate and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Step 8

Serve the Deviled Cauliflower hot and enjoy its bold, tangy, and spicy flavors!
