     This was AMAZING! I used olive oil and only 3 TBSP, next time I will only use 2 and see how it works out! - 10/24/12

     I made this this evening for dinner and it was so delicious! I swapped the sugar for a no calorie sweetener and it worked fine. It was a very interesting taste. I'm happy I have left overs! Also, personally, I find splitting a cauliflower head into 8 serving sizes is too many. - 6/8/14

     I accidently used brown sugar as I wasn't paying attn to the box. I also used coconut oil and fried in a pan. Very good. I didn't have paprika on hand so I will try again using paprika. - 4/23/13

     This was wonderful! Next time I'm using less butter and more cumin. Used Chili Powder instead of Paprika. Thank you! - 10/4/12

     I just made this. Substituted 2 1/2 T of EVOO for the butter. Left everything else the same. YUM!! - 1/9/12

     This was surprisingly good--it has a kind of Middle Eastern vibe to it. I liked it better hot than warm, but it was tasty either way. I reduced the amount of sweetener in the recipe, using 1/4 tsp. of Splenda in place of sugar and used a combination of Smart Balance and olive oil instead of butter. - 9/21/11

     This was an interesting spice combination and I thought it was very tasty. I cooked the cauliflower for 15 minutes but it didn't quite caramelize and was too soft.

    Next time I will cut bigger florets and test after 10 minutes. Might also cut down on butter. - 7/17/11

     This is awesome. Generally, I change up the recipes I find on here. But this one I prepared just as listed. The only thing I did was spray some foil lightly with canola oil and put the cauliflower in the foil packet on the grill! - 6/15/11
  • EHDYNES4110
     This was delicious!! Here are the changes I made - I used olive oil instead of butter and I just used enough to coat, not a specific measurement. I used Splenda with fiber instead of sugar. Also, I lowered the pepper to 1/4 tsp and upped the cumin to 1/2 tsp. Can't wait to make this again!! - 6/12/11

     This recipe was a hit at our Easter dinner. My oven only goes to 475, but it worked fine. Family's comments included "Leave out the sugar" and "More cumin, please!" - 4/27/11

     Made this last night and it was great, very easy and tasted great. Will definitely make again and perhaps experiment with the spices used (although these were great). - 2/4/11

     Oh boy this cauliflower was sooo good we all really enjoyed it, I never want to go back to regular boiled cauliflower ever again. - 12/7/10
  • CD5112106
     It wasn't bad but I found the cinnamon to strong tasting for my preference. I will try it again and either decrease the cinnamon or totally eliminate it. It was also a good thing it was summer and warm cause cooking it at 500 caused a little smoke in my oven. LOL. - 8/11/10
  • JUJU290
     So good. Unique flavors, but very good. I used Mrs. Dash Extra Spicy in place of the paprika - 8/2/10
