# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Set oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) to ensure proper caramelization.

Wash and break down the cauliflower into bite-sized florets for even roasting.

Add cauliflower florets to the bowl and mix until all pieces are thoroughly coated with the marinade.
05 -
Spread the coated florets in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet for even roasting.
06 -
Place baking sheet in preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, turning the florets halfway through to promote uniform browning.
