Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F and position the oven rack in the center.
  • Rinse the 1 medium cauliflower, remove outer leaves and the core, and break into small "popcorn"-size florets (bite-sized pieces).
  • In a small bowl, mix the spices: 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric.
  • Place the cauliflower florets in a zip-top (resealable) bag. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the spice mixture to the bag, seal, and shake/toss until the cauliflower is evenly coated.
  • Spread the coated florets in a single layer on a baking sheet (do not overcrowd).
  • Roast uncovered in the preheated 450°F oven for 25–30 minutes, turning or shaking the baking sheet once halfway through, until florets are tender and edges are golden.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool briefly before serving.
