  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ⅛-¼ tsp cayenne pepper

  • ¼ tsp fine sea salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil grape seed oil or neutral flavored oil

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, lining the pan isn't completely essential, but this helps with cleanup.
  • In a large bowl, then toss the cauliflower florets using all the oil, salt, chili powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • Add the seasoned florets into the baking sheet. Spread them out, facing as lots of the flatter borders down on the baking sheet so they brown well.

  • Serve tossed with the a squeeze of lime juice and scallions.
