In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, chili powder, and black pepper.
Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and slightly crispy around the edges.

Heat the oil in a small saucepan over low heat.
Add the garlic, paprika, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, sesame seeds, cinnamon stick, parsley, cilantro, oregano, and agave syrup.
Cook gently for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and allow the flavors to infuse while the cauliflower finishes roasting.
