Ingredients

1 head of cauliflower core and large stems removed, cut into bite sized florets (using bagged, pre-cut cauliflower will give you soggy results)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt or use MSG-Salt
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

Heat oven to 400°F.
Toss the prepared cauliflower florets with 1/4 cup olive oil in a large bowl. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne over cauliflower and toss to distribute spices evenly. Spread cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring every 10 minutes until cauliflower is well browned, about 30 minutes total.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon lemon juice over cooked cauliflower, toss gently, and serve.
