## Ingredients

- 1 head large head of cauliflower, cut into medium florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 1.5 tablespoons honey, slightly warmed
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.33 cup whole almonds (or slivered, roughly chopped)
- 1 handful fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
- Pinch chili flakes (if you want a touch of heat)

## Instructions

1. Soak the cauliflower florets in a bowl of salted water for 10 minutes to remove debris and help seasoning stick.
2. Drain and thoroughly pat the cauliflower florets dry to ensure crispiness.
3. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
5. In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with olive oil, warmed honey, curry powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
6. Toss the ingredients well to coat the cauliflower florets evenly.
7. Spread the seasoned cauliflower on the baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded to allow for proper roasting.
8. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden-brown and slightly crispy at the edges.
9. For extra crispiness, optionally place the tray under the broiler for 2–3 minutes at the end.
10. While the cauliflower roasts, heat a dry skillet over medium heat.
11. Add the almonds to the skillet and toast for 3–4 minutes, stirring often, until they are lightly golden and fragrant.
12. Remove the toasted almonds from heat and set aside.
13. Once the cauliflower is done, transfer it to a serving dish.
14. Sprinkle the toasted almonds and chopped fresh parsley or cilantro over the top.
15. Serve immediately while warm and crispy.

- parchment paper
- silicone baking mat
- dry skillet

## Tips

- Use high heat (425°F) for crisp edges and caramelization.
- Avoid crowding the pan to prevent steaming; use two trays if doubling the batch.
- Gently heat thick honey before mixing for even coating.
- Don't fear strong seasoning as flavors mellow in the oven.
- Experiment with other fresh herbs like flat-leaf parsley, mint, or dill.
- Cut florets roughly the same size for uniform roasting.
- Let the cauliflower rest briefly after roasting to settle flavors and maintain crispness.
- To get a deep golden color, use high heat and don
't skip the honey.
- For other nuts, try chopped walnuts, pecans, or cashews, and don
't skip toasting.
- If you don
't have curry powder, use a mix of turmeric, cumin, and coriander, or garam masala.
- Add chili flakes or cayenne for spiciness.
- When doubling the batch, use two trays to avoid overcrowding.
