1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Cut the cauliflower in large florets. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 c cauliflower (raw, small, uniform pieces) can use up to 4 cups
1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil, light
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (I like with 1/4 tsp also)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
pinch white cheddar popcorn seasoning (optional)

Steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
2. Break cauliflower up into small, uniform pieces.
3. Whisk olive oil and spices together in a bowl. (Not the white cheddar popcorn seasoning) Add the uniform pieces of cauliflower and mix thoroughly. I did these about the size of a popped popcorn kernel.
4. Place parchment paper on top of a cookie sheet, then place the seasoned cauliflower pieces on top of the parchment paper. Try a snack with some of the seasoned pieces eaten raw... tastes really good to me!
5. Place on the center shelf of the preheated oven. Roast for 45 minutes, or to the level desired.
6. I like mine crisp with brown edges. These need to be stirred on the pan every 15 minutes until done.
7. May sprinkle with white cheddar popcorn seasoning, if desired.
