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

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.

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

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.
