Spicy Roasted Cauliflower

Who likes spicy food?


I like spicy food. I like really spicy food. But my family, eh, not as much. This is a great dish that allows you to change the spice level depending on who you're serving. Adjust the amount of sriracha, garlic, and cayenne to find your spice comfort zone. Just of few ingredients, but lots of flavor. Who knew cauliflower had a sassy side?

Spicy Roasted Cauliflower
Ingredients
1 head cauliflower
2 - 3 tablespoons olive oil (depending on how much cauliflower)
2 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon sriracha sauce (hot sauce normally found in the international aisle)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (red) pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
Black pepper to taste
1 lime

  1. Preheat the oven to 425F.
  2. Cut up the cauliflower into equal, bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, sriracha, cayenne, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Add the cauliflower and coat evenly with spice mixture.
  5. Place in roasting pan or baking sheet and bake for 15 - 20 minutes. If you're good you'll rotate them so they brown evenly; I'm too lazy for that kind of nonsense.
  6. Once done cooking, slice up your lime and squeeze as much as you want. Again, adjust amount of juice to suit your taste, from limey afterthought to citrus punch. I'm more of a citrus punch myself.
