For a deeper flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the spice mixture for a touch of heat. If using olive oil, be careful not to oversaturate the cauliflower, as this can lead to steaming rather than roasting. Parchment paper is preferable to aluminum foil as it prevents sticking and promotes better browning. Plus, it's easier to clean! For best results, ensure the cauliflower florets are relatively uniform in size to ensure even cooking.
