Roasted Cauliflower

This is so quick and easy,and so very good. A nice healthy snack instead of rich alternatives. Actually this was my lunch today.
 
Ingredients:
  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 1 -2 teaspoons oil  ( the recipe called for 2 Tablespoons, which is way too much.)
  • 1/2 -3/4 teaspoon Garam Masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt-optional
  • Touch of freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
  1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Cut the cauliflower into bite size pieces.
  3. Mix all ingredients in a plastic grocery bag
  4. Roast, single layer on parchment paper which has been put on a baking sheet..
 
How to make Garam Masala:
  • 2 Tablespoons cumin
  • 2 Tablespoons coriander
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Mix well. Store in small glass jar with cover. Label and refrigerte.

If you don't wan to use Garam Masala how about some Spanish Smoked Paprika, or any seasons you enjoy.
 
I picked my Garam Masala up at Penzey's Spices.
 
Next time I would  sprinkle some chopped cilantro or green onions over the top after I take the cauliflower out of the oven.
 
Enjoy!!
