# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to heat up to 400°F (200°C).
02 -
Mix cauliflower, olive oil, the garlic and onion powders, along with a sprinkle of salt, in a large bowl until everything is evenly coated.
03 -
Lay the seasoned cauliflower out on a baking tray lined with parchment—make sure to spread them out in one layer.
04 -
Pop the tray in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, keeping an eye out until the pieces are golden and tender.
05 -
As the cauliflower roasts, grab a small pan and whisk together the lemon juice, maple syrup, cornstarch, and black pepper over low to medium heat.
06 -
Keep stirring the mixture until it thickens into a shiny glaze, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
07 -
Once the cauliflower is done, put it back in the large bowl, pour the glaze over, and gently stir to coat every piece evenly.
08 -
Move the glazed florets onto a serving plate, sprinkle with lemon zest and parsley, and enjoy it right away.
# Notes:

Cauliflower is packed with nutrients like vitamins C and K while being low in calories.

Lemons not only add a burst of flavor but are also loaded with vitamin C.

Black pepper has a compound called piperine, which can support digestion and help the body absorb nutrients.
