This Roasted Cauliflower with Chipotle and Lime recipe is a must-have if you are a fan of chipotle, and you might be tempted to give it a try even if you don’t really like cauliflower.
It’s because you can’t really even tell it’s cauliflower with the spicy-smokey seasonings and the tangy flavor from the lime.
This recipe is really simple to make and it works well as a side dish or as an appetizer/snack.
There are so many new recipes using cauliflower now – cauliflower rice, mashed cauliflower, cauliflower pizza crust, cauliflower potato salad, cauliflower buffalo “wings” just to name a few.

Tip #1: I’ve used both frozen and fresh cauliflower and although frozen works, the fresh seems to come out better.
Tip #2: I like chipotle ~alot~ so if you don’t like too much spicy, just use less chipotle than what I show in the recipe because it will be hot.
Tip #3: I used to make it without lining my dish with parchment paper (as in the photos above) and it makes it really hard to clean the dish afterwards. So I started using parchment paper and it makes clean up so easy and I included that step in the recipe.

Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons organic extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon organic chipotle powder
- 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon organic garlic powder
- 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt

Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower pieces then gently toss to make sure each one is coated. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture onto the cauliflower pieces and gently toss again to make sure it's evenly distributed and each one is covered with the seasoning mixture. Add the seasoned cauliflower pieces to an 8 x 8 baking dish lined with parchment paper. Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 15 - 20 minutes or until slightly crispy, tossing them about halfway through. Squeeze lime juice over them before serving. Best when served hot from the oven.
