Reddy's Roasted Cauliflower (+ a Fat Cat variation)

Reddy says, "I  never liked cauliflower until I had it roasted. Toss it with a little olive oil, salt, pepper,and minced garlic.  Then roast in hot oven (425) for about 25 minutes, squeeze a little fresh lemon juice and enjoy!"
 
Fat Cat says: Thanks Reddy! This is a great recipe. 
Here's my variation: Add 1 t. turmeric and 1 t. curry to the olive oil, salt and pepper. I used 1 t. powdered garlic instead of fresh. I also peeled some carrots and cut them in wedges and added those to the marinade as well. Be sure to use lots of olive oil- maybe a little extra while baking. I used lime juice instead of lemon juice. This was totally delicious.
