Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Season the Cauliflower
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, turmeric, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the florets.
Step 3: Arrange on a Baking Sheet
Spread the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the florets are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.
Step 4: Roast Until Crispy
Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through. The cauliflower should be golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Serve warm as a side dish, in grain bowls, or as a topping for salads.

Can I use frozen cauliflower?
