    Yum! Added some onions too

    Very good. Requires more salt than the recipe suggests. Definitely use less red pepper flake or it would take over. Might benefit from a squeeze of lemon.

    I accidentally crowded my pan due to my cauliflower being quite big, so my cauliflower steamed rather than roasted, but the spice mix was really tasty and not too strong. The red chili flakes give this quite a kick (a little too much for my taste), so I would cut that down next time, but everything else was perfect.

    Absolutely delicious and made for a satisfying meal. Threw in a little cumin seed as well. Served half a head of cauliflower with leftover creamy sesame tumeric dip (same book) and some falafel, for 2.

    Really one of the best preparations of cauliflower. A little more chili pepper than needed in general (kind of overpowered other stuff) but I've clearly been roasting my cauliflower at too low of a temp this whole time.

    Wow, was this excellent. Perfectly spicy and crispy and my husband and I ate it all.

    My cauliflower was huge, so it barely fit on the sheet pan, which probably caused it to steam a bit, but I left it in the oven long enough to char a bit, which is critical. I used half the red pepper flakes for less spice. Feta cheese was very nice with the cauliflower, but it would be good on its own. Everyone loved this dish.
