Let's just say, I'm going out to get another head of cauliflower ASAP! I was a bit hesitant with the mix of chili, garlic, and balsamic, but since I love roasted vegetables, I thought I'd give it a whirl. This will be me in my rotation for years to come! The amount of ingredients is perfect -- it's not too spciy, not too tangy, not too garlicy. It's just right. Thanks so much for sharing!!

So I'm just discovering the wonder of roasted vegetables and this recipe was a treat to find. Truly excellent recipe! I have to admit that I used cayenne (sparingly) as I had no chili powder and since I'm not a fan of balsamic, I didn't have any, and omitted the last step. And this dish was still amazing! Thank you!

I love roasted cauliflower! I tried this with the balsamic vinegar and was not a big fan (more because I'm not a balsamic vinegar fan). I tried the recipe a second time with tarragon vinegar, garlic powder and parm cheese, no chili powder and it was fantastic! (cut out the garlic salt or it would have been too salty) WIll be making this often! I eat his instead of popcorn if I'm watching a movie!

I always found cauliflower to be hard vegetable to appreciate. It's either drowned in heavy sauces including creamy or curried, simply steamed, or fritters/tempura and never found them too interesting. But, I know that we should eat more of it and usually have a head of cauliflower to cook. I made this with half a head and it was very, very simple to make. I took them out two times during the baking stage to stir for even browning. Instead of regular chili powder, I used Penzey's taco seasoning and topped it with bacon bits once they were done. I found the flavors just right and texture still crunchy, but fully cooked. We thoroughly enjoyed them with beer! Thank you Kendra for sharing this tasty recipe.

I'm not a huge cauliflower lover but we really liked this alot. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is bcause it seemed a little salty for my taste. I think next time I will use garlic powder instead of garlic salt. BUT there will be many next times for this recipe. Thanks for posting. I put it on my menu #16209 menu.

<p>Although I currently live just outside St. Louis, this was the 20th move my husband and I made in the 28 years (at the time of our move) of our marriage. Most of those moves occurred in my husband's 25 year career as a pilot in the Air Force. When he retired 7 years ago, he went to work for Boeing and we both thought we'd go back to Seattle and never move again. Boy were we wrong! But our eventual goal is to end up back in the northwest. I love to read, quilt, and collect cookbooks and recipes. Have I found the right website or what? Pet peeves include people who give low ratings but don't say why and people who rate recipes they haven't tried. <br />EDITED TO ADD ON Jan. 27, 2007: Well we're here! We made it back to Seattle after what I call The Move From H---! We had major problems on both ends of the move, but the worst things happened here. Less than two weeks after we moved into our new house in Bellevue, a storm blew through and sent two tree limbs through the roof! Our power was off for almost a week, so we ended up moving back into the hotel we thought we had left behind. But we're back in our house now and slowly but surely, it's beginning to feel like home. And on the sunny, warm days, we remember exactly why we've always loved Seattle so much! Our favorite restaurant (Jake O'Shaunesey's) is gone, so we'll have to spend lots of time eating out in search of a new one!</p>
