Roasted Cauliflower

Kendra*'s Note:

This recipe was originally one of Martha Stewart's but I've adjusted it to make it more to my taste. This has become my DH's favorite vegetable recipe. In fact, we love it so much that the two of us usually pig out on the whole recipe.

I was a little skeptical of the chili powder/balsamic combination, but after trying it I must say... I. Love. This. and can't wait to make it again! That is all.

I'm not giving this stars, because I'd like to try it again and cook it less. It was pretty bland for me, but maybe some cayenne pepper, rather than black pepper, would help.

I love roasted cauliflower and I'm always looking for different ways to prepare it. This was very good. I enjoyed the hint of spice from the chili powder and the bite of the balsamic vinegar. And the color was beautiful. I added about a tbs of the chili powder but next time, I think I'll add more chili powder. Thanks for posting.
