Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, removing the core and leaves.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.
Step 4
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the marinade.
Step 5
Spread the coated cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded for even roasting.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown, flipping the florets halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispiness.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or a healthy snack.
