Crispy, flavorful cauliflower bites that are perfect as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. Roasted to golden perfection with garlic and spices, they are healthy and delicious.
1 head cauliflower, chopped into small florets
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
Optional: lemon juice, fresh herbs, or Parmesan cheese
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, chili powder, ancho chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Spread the cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer.
4. Roast for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden brown and crisp on edges.
5. Optionally, drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle fresh herbs or Parmesan before serving.
6. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy as-is.
Make sure the florets are dry before tossing with oil to achieve maximum crispiness.
Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming the cauliflower.
For extra flavor, add smoked paprika or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
