spicy roasted cauliflower

This spicy roasted cauliflower is a quick and easy dish to make. When roasted, cauliflower tastes nutty and slightly sweet. In this spicy roasted cauliflower recipe, we toss cauliflower florets with a generous amount of ancho chili powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper for some spice. For a spicy dish, add the full amount of cayenne, for milder palates, half the amount called for in the recipe.

This is my favorite cauliflower recipe. I am not a fan of cauliflower but when I prepare it this way it is fantastic. I love the spices and the crispiness of the cauliflower. It is easy to prepare and the aroma is nice too!

Absolutely Love this recipe we use it at least once a week ??

Made recipe exactly as written and it was packed with flavor. It made a nice addition to a  rice bowl topped with tofu, roasted beets and sweet potato.

I love this recipe!! The flavors are amazing. Awesome job and thank you for your post!! Gotta go make some right now.
