Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower

- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Preheat Your Oven
First things first, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). While your oven is heating up, let's prepare the star of the show, our cauliflower.
Prepare the Cauliflower
Take your cauliflower and give it a good rinse. Once it's clean, it's time to transform it into those irresistible bite-sized pieces. The key here is to cut the cauliflower into really small bite-sized pieces. Why, you ask? Because smaller pieces get crispier in the oven, and who doesn't love some extra crunch in their roasted veggies?
Season to Perfection
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower pieces with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of curry powder. Make sure to coat each piece evenly with this delightful spice mixture. The aroma of the curry powder and cumin will already have your taste buds tingling.
Roasting Time
Spread the seasoned cauliflower evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will make cleanup a breeze. Pop your cauliflower into the preheated oven and set your timer for 15 minutes. But wait, there's more! Remember to flip those cauliflower bites halfway through the cooking time to ensure they get perfectly crispy on all sides.
The Grand Reveal
After 15 minutes of roasting, your kitchen will be filled with the mouthwatering scent of roasted cauliflower and spices. Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cauliflower cool for just a minute or two. Then, it's time to serve!
