From: www.blog.fatfreevegan.com
You can turn these into Buffalo Bites by tossing them with your favorite hot sauce after they've baked for 15 minutes; then continue baking until done.
Preparation time: 10 min
Cooking time: 30 min
Servings: 6

1 head cauliflower
1 tsp mild chili powder
1/2 tsp salt (optional or to taste)
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp chipotle chile powder (optional)

 Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.

Cut the cauliflower into individual bite-sized florets. Try to keep them about the same size. Rinse them in a colander under running water. Shake off excess water but don't dry. Spread them out on the baking sheet.

Combine all seasonings in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the cauliflower, turning the florets so that all sides are seasoned. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes; turn florets and bake another 15 minutes or until they are beginning to brown in spots. Remove and serve warm with nacho cheese or other dipping sauce.
