Crispy Roasted Cauliflower ✨!!!!

🌟 Step 3: Season and Toss

In a large bowl:

Add the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, turmeric, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Sprinkle in the cornstarch (this is the magic ingredient that helps achieve maximum crispiness).
Toss the cauliflower florets in the mixture until each piece is evenly coated.

🔥 Tip: Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet. Spread the florets out in a single layer with a little space between them to allow them to crisp instead of steam.

🌟 Step 4: Roast to Perfection

Place the tray in the preheated oven.
Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through to get even browning on all sides.
The florets should be golden brown, crispy on the edges, and fork-tender inside.

🧄 Want extra flavor? Add a few whole garlic cloves or onion wedges to the tray for a roasted aromatherapy experience.

🌟 Step 5: Finish and Serve

Once done, remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with nutritional yeast or Parmesan for a cheesy flavor boost (optional but amazing).
Let them cool for a few minutes—this helps them crisp up even more!
Serve as a side dish, toss in a grain bowl, stuff in wraps, or just snack on them right off the tray.
