Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough to char the cauliflower.

  2. 2

    Prepare Cauliflower

    Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower head. Cut the cauliflower into florets, ensuring they are of even size for uniform cooking.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Season Cauliflower

    In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Toss well until the florets are evenly coated.

  2. 4

    Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

  3. 5

    Roast Cauliflower

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden brown and charred at the edges. Toss halfway through for even cooking.

Serving

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the cauliflower is done roasting, remove it from the oven. Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
