This spicy roasted cauliflower is super delicious and easy side dish made with a whole cauliflower cut into small florets and seasoned with paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder along with a tablespoon of hot sauce.
Then oven roasted until tender in the middle and crispy on the edges. It is the perfect side dish that can be served almost with everything.
Spicy Roasted Cauliflower
This roasted cauliflower recipe is seriously good; it is fresh, tasty, and vegan. It takes only a few minutes to prepare. I like to make this dish 2-3 days ahead of time and keep it in the fridge and simply reheat it in the air fryer, oven or microwave when I need it.
When I buy a cauliflower head, I always look for 2 things: one that has a white colour and a firm texture.
This is a wonderful roasted cauliflower recipe that i am sure everyone will love and enjoy.
