Key Components
- Cauliflower: Search for agency, creamy white heads with tight florets. Go on any cauliflower that’s noticed or discolored. For extra ideas, see how to buy and cut cauliflower.
- Oil: I like utilizing a impartial, high-heat oil like avocado or safflower for roasting veggies.
- Spices: I make my spice combine by combining salt with chili powder (homemade chili powder is superb), smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne. Regulate the cayenne to your liking: 1/8 teaspoon is delicate, and 1/2 teaspoon is fairly spicy. Chipotle powder can also be a wonderful substitute for cayenne and has the same warmth degree.
- Inexperienced Onion: I really like including sliced inexperienced onions on the finish for a burst of shade and taste. The warmth from the cauliflower wilts them completely.
- Lime: I’m beneficiant with lime juice, and add it proper when the cauliflower comes out of the oven.
The right way to Make Chili Lime Roasted Cauliflower
I roast cauliflower in a 425°F oven. The cauliflower florets will develop into tender and properly caramelized in about half-hour at this temperature. The trick to roasting cauliflower is to unfold the florets out in your baking sheet so they don’t seem to be touching one another. This manner, the new air surrounds them, and they’re going to brown as an alternative of steam.
For this spiced cauliflower recipe, I toss the florets with oil, salt, chili powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne. Keep in mind that you would be able to modify the spiciness of the cauliflower by decreasing or rising the quantity of cayenne pepper added to the combination.
Unfold the spice-coated cauliflower in your baking sheet and roast it. Stir after 20 minutes, then roast them till you’re joyful. To serve, scatter a handful of sliced inexperienced onions and contemporary lime juice over the roasted cauliflower and revel in!
