The smoked Spanish paprika gives a simple side of roasted cauliflower extra depth. This is definitely a favorite. —Juliette Mulholland, Corvallis, Oregon

This is a very tasty side dish! I was amazed by the flavor! My children loved it too. I used 2 bags of frozen cauliflower (half way thawed) and doubled the recipe. I also cooked about 10-12 minutes longer.

My family agrees that this recipe is not memorable - sorry. I don't understand the great reviews.

While I rarely can afford cauliflower, I do love it roasted with olive oil and sea salt. Since it was on sale this week, I bought a head and found this recipe. The addition of smoked paprika elevates this simple dish.

I fixed this for the first time with guests present who thought it sounded good. I had washed & separated the cauliflower into florets earlier in the day and kept refrigerated. It was a quick & simple fix with that step out of the way. The dish was a hit! We all absolutely loved it. There wasn't a single bite left! Recipe is definitely a keeper and I plan to share it with friends & family.

This is another recipe that we liked but there was no way I could prep it and have it on the table in 30 minutes. I really tried too. I didn't bake it any longer than the 20 minutes. Maybe breaking the cauliflower into 1 inch pieces isn't counted in the prep. Recipe was good.

Excellent! There were no leftovers. I didn't have smoked paprika so I just added a little of pepper to the paprika. When did the garlic, I added extra garlic along with more oil.

I prepared the recipe and I ate it ALL! I did not have smoked paprika. I used regular Spanish paprika, 3 Tbsp. olive oil, 1 tsp. smoked hickory seasoning in place of the salt. I kept the garlic cloves the same-except I crushed the cloves! I admit that I didn't use parsley. This was a yummy dish and it WAS very simple to prepare! Thank you for sharing the recipe with Taste of Home! delowenstein
