Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F.
Place the cauliflower florets in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and add the minced garlic.
Using your hands, mix and rub the oil and garlic over the cauliflower.
Sprinkle the chipotle powder, salt, and black pepper over the cauliflower and toss to ensure even coating.
Spread the cauliflower on a baking tray and bake for 25 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until the edges are caramelized and the cauliflower is tender.
Remove from the oven. Push the cauliflower together and drizzle with lime juice.
Sprinkle with chopped coriander, if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

Adjust the amount of chipotle powder to control the spiciness level to your preference.
For added flavor, try adding lime zest before baking.
