Spicy Roasted Cauliflower Recipe
Easy, quick and delicious Spicy Roasted Cauliflower Recipe for you to try today! It’s made with also gluten-free, low-carb, and paleo friendly. Enjoy!
After the big success of my Garlic Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower recipe, I decided to create another one because I know you all love cauliflower like me 😉 This time I added lots of spices that make this Spicy Roasted Cauliflower recipe so delicious.
This recipe is absolutely delicious and very easy to make. You’ll only need to cut the cauliflower into florets, pour olive oil all over them, and then add all the spices. Talking about spices, I think the best part of this Spicy Roasted Cauliflower Recipe is that you can use any spice you prefer. The sky is the limit and I guarantee they’ll be very good. I love hot spices so I added cayenne pepper and smoked paprika. But if they are too strong for you, I recommend you replace them for chili powder and sweet paprika. Either way, this healthy side dish will be the star of your table.
MY OTHER RECIPES
I think cauliflower is always the best side dish because it basically goes with every type of protein such as salmon, chicken, beef, pork, and even eggs. I love to serve it with salmon and some salad. Hm.. So good! Also, this Spicy Roasted Cauliflower Recipe is great option to serve during the holiday’s parties just because it’s hard to find someone who doesn’t like cauliflower, right?
You can prepare it ahead of time by cutting the cauliflower into florets and adding all the spices in there. Then when it’s about 30 minutes before dinnertime you place the cauliflower in the oven and bake it for about 25 minutes. Of course, the cooking time will depend on the power of the oven. This is also a great side dish if you are on a low-carb, vegan/vegetarian, paleo, and gluten-free diets. I really hope you give this recipe a try and enjoy!

I cut a head of cauliflower in half, then cut up each half into flowerettes and put into separate bowls. I then mixed up the spices for this recipe and mixed everything together. The other half, I made a parmesan & garlic combo and mixed that all together. I used separate sheet pans and baked it till almost done, then turned the oven on broil and kept an eye on it for about 2 to 3 min. Soooo much YUM on BOTH !!! Thank you ! 😊
Awesome!
