Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and cornstarch in a large bowl and spread in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  3. Roast the cauliflower in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until edges are golden and crispy.
  4. While roasting, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper in a small saucepan. Heat on medium-low for 5-7 minutes.
