Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Make sure the cauliflower florets are roughly 1 inch wide, and arrange them on the baking sheet.

Drizzle the cauliflower with coconut oil. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, turmeric, cumin, and coriander.

Use a rubber spatula to toss the cauliflower until it is evenly coated in the oil and spices.

Roast on middle rack of oven, stirring halfway through the cook time, until the cauliflower is crisp-tender and slightly charred, 22-25 minutes.

Check to see that cauliflower is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Serve immediately.

Spice Bloom Technique 🌶️
Toast the ground spices in the coconut oil for 30-45 seconds before tossing with cauliflower to release their full aromatic potential and deepen flavor complexity.
Moisture Maximization 💦
Pat cauliflower florets completely dry with paper towels before seasoning to ensure maximum crispy edges and prevent steaming instead of roasting.
Even Roasting Strategy 🥄
Spread cauliflower in a single layer with space between pieces on the baking sheet, rotating the pan halfway through cooking to guarantee uniform caramelization.
Coconut Oil Pro Tip 🥥
Use refined coconut oil for high-heat roasting to prevent burning, which has a higher smoke point than unrefined varieties.
Flavor Layering Technique 🌿
Finish roasted cauliflower with a light sprinkle of fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice to brighten the warm spice profile.
