I adore roasted cauliflower. It’s delicious to eat, simple, to make, and there are so many ways to change it up. Here I’ve got some of my favorite spices like Aleppo pepper and sumac to take it to the next level.

One of the things I love about roasted cauliflower is that it’s delicious, but it also holds beautifully as a leftover, and it’s spectacular at room temperature. I always like to do an extra batch because blended with chicken stock, it makes a truly easy and fantastic soup. There are so many wonderful ways to enjoy cauliflower, whether it’s cauliflower steak, cauliflower rice, or roasted cauliflower.
