Day 2 of the 30 Day Tasty Vegetable Challenge

Today's recipe is courtesy of Aviva Goldfarb author of "SOS! The Six O'Clock Scramble to the Rescue: Earth-Friendly, Kid-Pleasing Dinners for Busy Families" - one of my favorite cookbooks. Thank you Aviva! I made this for my family last week and it definitely passed the "tasty" test.

Even avowed cauliflower haters can’t resist this recipe! The cauliflower gets tender and just a little crunchy at the edges and the flavor is addictive.

1 head cauliflower 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil 1/2 tsp. chili powder 1/4 tsp. ground cumin 1 tsp. salt

To make Roasted Cauliflower Poppers, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut 1 head of cauliflower into florets. Toss them with 1 Tbsp. olive oil, 1/2 tsp. chili powder, or more to taste, and 1/4 tsp. ground cumin, or more to taste, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Roast it for 20-30 minutes until the florets are browned and soft, tossing once.
