3/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
1 medium head cauliflower, broken into florets

Test Kitchen tips

Give these bites even more smoky, spicy flavor by dipping them in chipotle mayo.

Want even more heat? Squirt a little sriracha or hot pepper sauce on them as soon as they come out of the oven.

If you really like smoky flavors, use smoked Spanish-style paprika.
