Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, chopped into small florets
- 3 tsp oil
- 1 tsp lemon juice or lime juice
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp garam masala or use curry powder of choice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp cayenne or use 1 tsp sweet paprika + pinches of cayenne to taste

- pinches of cinnamon and clove powder (, optional)
- 1.5 to 2 tbsp panko breadcrumbs (use gluten free breadcrumbs or coarsely crushed oats or 2 tsp rice flour to make gluten-free)

Method
- Slice the cauliflower into florets and add to a large bowl. Drizzle oil and lemon juice. Mix and rub the oil and lemon juice into the florets.

- Spread on parchment lined baking sheet or large dish and spray oil on the florets.
- Bake at 425 degrees F (220 deg C) for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 400 degrees F. Turn the sheet around or move the cauliflower around a bit and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes.
- Make the raita dip (see notes), or cilantro mint chutney, chimichurri. Serve as is with dips or with some spiced up beans/chickpeas on the side, or make tacos or wraps.
