These healthy little treats work well as a side or as fun bite size appetizers. Roasting the cauliflower adds deep flavor and gives it an irresistible crunch. —Courtney Stultz, Weir, Kansas

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.

This cauliflower recipe is a go-to favorite for Christmas appetizers or easy Thanksgiving appetizers, especially since preparation is so simple.
