Lemon Roasted Cauliflower with Cumin and Sumac

This lemon roasted cauliflower dish was one that my son introduced to me. My youngest son recently moved out and has been trying new recipes and this is one that he recommended. I only know a few cauliflower recipes, so I thought that this would be a good addition. It uses ground sumac, which is a Middle Eastern spice that I had in my pantry. I use sumac for another dish: a simple chicken fattoush salad.

This recipe is very simple. The cauliflower florets are tossed in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, zest, cumin, sumac, salt and pepper. It is then roasted for 25 minutes. It came out crisp-tender and a strong sumac flavor.
