Roasted Turmeric Cauliflower Recipe
Description
This recipe features cauliflower florets coated in olive oil and spices including turmeric, chili powder, black pepper, and ground ginger, which combine to create a warm, earthy, and mildly spicy flavor profile. The florets and lemon slices roast together at a high temperature, allowing the cauliflower to become tender with crisp edges, and the lemons to caramelize slightly.
The roasted lemon slices are squeezed over the cauliflower before serving, enhancing brightness and layering a citrusy contrast to the roasted spices. Fresh cilantro sprinkled on top adds a fragrant, fresh note that balances the warm flavors.
It can be served as a side dish or as part of a vegetable platter, offering a colorful and flavorful option that highlights the unique taste of turmeric paired with everyday vegetables.

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the cauliflower florets to a large bowl and drizzle with the oil. Sprinkle the turmeric, sea salt, chili powder, black pepper, and ginger over top and toss so everything is well coated.
