Roasted Spiced Cauliflower

This is a variation of our oven roasted cauliflower base recipe. We love roasting vegetables in general, but there is something almost magical about cauliflower when it is roasted!
Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time17 minutes
Total Time22 minutes
Course: Side
Cuisine: American
Servings: 4 (½ cup) servings
Calories: 69kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ Tablespoons canola or avocado oil
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika , regular or smoked
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 12 ounces cauliflower florets (~1 large head)
  • 1 small lemon, cut in half or quarters

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425° F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together oil, chili powder, paprika, and salt.
  • Break larger cauliflower florets into smaller pieces and add to the bowl. Using a spatula, toss to evenly coat with oil mixture. 
  • Spread spiced cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan. Roast 16-18 minutes or until edges are brown and florets are easily pierced with a fork.
  • Remove from oven and squeeze lemon juice on top. Enjoy!

Notes

If using a whole head of cauliflower, be sure to cut it into uniform, bite-sized pieces. If using bagged florets, break large pieces into smaller pieces.
