Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Whole grain mustard
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Honey (optional for sweetness)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Wash and cut the cauliflower into evenly sized florets. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, honey (if using), salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until each piece is evenly coated with the mustard marinade.

Step 5

Transfer the coated cauliflower florets to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer to ensure even roasting.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through, until they are golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.

Step 7

Remove the cauliflower from the oven and garnish with the chopped fresh parsley.

Step 8

Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy it on its own as a light, tangy main course.
