Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and place racks in the middle.
  2. Give the baguette a spin in a food processor until you have textured, not-too-fine bread crumbs.
  3. Trim the cauliflower. Get rid of the big stalks and stems and strive for uniform, bite-sized little florets. Little trees.
  4. In a big bowl toss the cauliflower with a few generous tablespoons of olive oil and the salt. Toss until the cauliflower is well coated and then place it in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. You are going to bake for about 25-30 minutes total.
  5. There will be some residual olive oil in the big bowl you used to toss the cauliflower. If not, add another tablespoon or two. Add the bread crumbs, garlic, and chiles. Mix.
  6. After the cauliflower has been baking for about 15-20 minutes anything in contact with the pan should be nicely browned. Pull the pan out of the oven, rotate each piece of cauliflower so that another side will get some color, and then sprinkle the entire pan with the breadcrumb mixture. Return the pan to the oven and finish with another ten minutes or so. The cauliflower should be tender throughout and the breadcrumbs nicely toasted. Serve immediately, it really isn't half as delicious after it has been sitting on the counter getting cold.
  7. If you want to work the popcorn angle, serve in little cups. Or I've even seen little, mini, paper popcorn containers at party stores. Kids seem more wiling to try good vegetables when you make them taste and smell really good and have some fun with the context.
  8. Variations:
  9. - Sprinkle with Dukkah as the cauliflower comes out of the oven instead of the garlic and chiles. ( I have a recipe for Dukkah posted in my recipes as well)
  10. - Puree the roasted cauliflower (and crumbs) with some broth and a splash of cream for an easy soup.
