I have to say, I was VERY surprised with how these cauliflower bites turned out. I'm not normally a cauliflower fan, but the combination of spices and baking really mellowed out the flavor. My husband has eaten almost half the plate since I made these...which I consider a ringing endorsement!
1 medium head of cauliflower
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (we like things spicy at our house!)
Directions:
1. Preheat the over to 400 degrees.
2. Put spices in a medium sized bowl.
3. Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. They will come out a little boxy looking, but it's much faster than breaking it apart by hand and it doesn't affect the flavor.
4. Place pieces in bowl and mix thoroughly with spices. The cauliflower will be VERY colorful!
5. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
6. Place pieces in a single layer on baking sheet.
7. Bake for about 10 minutes, stirring about halfway through.
**Cauliflower will be soft but not mushy. Also, a variety of other spices can be used depending on your taste. I also bet these would be great dipped in some light ranch to give it a little extra zing.
