Bake for 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the chili oil. In a jar with a lid, add the smoked chili pepper flakes, the dried onion, oregano, garlic, paprika, and salt.
Heat the oil until it ripples and pour over the spices.
Let it cool before tasting.
Place the cauliflower florets and onion on a serving dish; squeeze the juice of a lemon (or more if you like), sprinkle the cilantro leaves, and finish by drizzling crunchy chili oil on top.

Notes
When heating the oil, heat it just until it ripples, don't let it smoke. If the oil is smoking hot, it will burn the spices and aromatics.
