Spicy Cauliflower Cheese Bites

Ingredients

  • 2 heads cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce ((I like Franks))
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, more or less to your taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • kosher salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan
  • 1/3 cup grated cheddar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. On a baking sheet, toss together the cauliflower, olive oil, hot sauce, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Add the parmesan and toss to coat. Transfer to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes. Remove and add the cheddar. Return to the oven and continue cooking for another 10 minutes, until the cauliflower is golden and the cheese begins to crisp. Serve with ranch dressing.

Note: original recipe included a tahini ranch that no one in our family liked. Follow the link to see the original recipe.
