This is one of THE most amazing cauliflower recipes I’ve ever had which is saying something, because I love my cauliflower. It requires minimal work on your end, but tastes so complex no one would believe it. It has even turned some of my cauliflower-skeptical friends into believers.
The heat of the chili powder mellows as it slow roasts and you’re left with a flavorful dish worthy of a secure spot in your meal rotation. Make this immediately. You won’t regret it.
