Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. and line a large baking sheet with a silicon mat or parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the paprika, cumin, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
  3. Add the cauliflower florets to a bowl and add the oil. Using your hands, mix well to make sure they are evenly coated with the oil.
  4. One teaspoon at a time, sprinkle the spice mixture. Toss well, add one more teaspoon of spice mixture, toss well. Repeat the process until all of the spice mixture is used and the cauliflower florets are evenly coated.
  5. Place the cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet and spread them evenly.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes. Flip them and bake for 15 minutes.
  7. Serve hot or at room temperature. Optionally sprinkle chives and sesame seeds for garnish and with some lime wedges.

Notes

  • Avoid mushy/soft cauliflower: Make sure it’s thoroughly dry and avoid overcrowding it so it roasts rather than steams.
  • Crispiest cauliflower: Follow the above and optional broil at the end.
  • Use even-sized pieces: That way, they’ll roast evenly.
