As I’m certain you’ve seen, I am a major devotee of everything cauliflower.

It’s actual, I love chips (particularly great tortilla chips) however I additionally love vegetables. Fun reality about cauliflower from my believed sustenance source, Healthline, “Cauliflower contains some of pretty much every nutrient and mineral that you need.” Who knew?

You can cleave the cauliflower head into florets, however I favor cutting it so the pieces are somewhat compliment and a smidgen more like a chip. Cauliflower is never going to be a chip, yet this technique for cutting makes the cauliflower compliment and more chip-like.

For this you’ll consolidate the garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, stew powder, ocean salt and oil in an enormous bowl. Include the cut cauliflower and throw to cover. Presently this part is significant! Spot the cauliflower on the heating sheet, however space the pieces out to ensure that none are contacting! Heat for 20 minutes at 425ºF or until the cauliflower is beginning to brown.
