- 2.Rinse the cauliflower and cut it into small florets.
- 3.Place the florets on a baking sheet and toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin, and smoked paprika.
- 4.Spread the cauliflower out so it roasts rather than steams.
- 5.Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring once or twice, until tender and lightly browned.

Notes
Smaller florets roast faster and get more browned edges.
If using cumin seeds, they add a little extra texture and flavor.
