# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt until well coated.

Arrange the cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden brown and tender.

Cook the glaze over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and becomes glossy, about 3-5 minutes.

Once the cauliflower is roasted, transfer it back to the large bowl and pour the lemon pepper glaze over it. Toss the cauliflower gently to ensure all pieces are evenly coated with the glaze.
