There are millions of recipes similar to this one on the internet but I like the results I got when I added the curry and cayenne.  The result is spicy, flavorful and a downright addictive popcorn – like treat.  This recipe makes an excellent side dish or can be eaten as a snack or hors d’oeuvre during a cocktail hour.

 INGREDIENTS:

1 ea                                      head cauliflower, cored and broken into large stemless pieces

2 T                                         olive oil or equivalent amount of olive oil pan spray

1 t                                          kosher salt

2 t                                         curry powder

½ t                                         cayenne

Salt and pepper

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Line a rimmed baking sheet with tin foil and parchment paper.  Place prepared cauliflower on baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.  Alternately, spray with olive oil pan spray.  Sprinkle curry, cayenne and salt on cauliflower and toss to combine thoroughly.  Spread cauliflower pieces out in a single layer on parchment paper and place in preheated oven.

Roast, turning halfway through roasting process, until cauliflower is browned and caramelized nicely.  Adjust salt and pepper.

Serve immediately or at room temperature.
