Smoky Baked Cauliflower Bites

Smoky Baked Cauliflower Bites

1 head cauliflower, washed and cut into cut bite size pieces
1-2 Tablespoons olive oil
smoked paprika (approx 1 teaspoon)
good pinch of salt
1 Tablespoon bacon grease (optional)

Mix together all but the cauliflower.
Add cauliflower and toss until coated.
Heat jelly roll pan (cookie sheet with sides) in a 350 degree oven.  Add bacon grease from fridge and let it melt.  Swirling to cover the bottom of the sheet (or I used a baking stone.) The cauliflower will shrink so it's OK if they touch a little.
Bake for 35-40 minutes flipping half way through the cooking until they are soft and caramelized.
 Enjoy!

  4. These look really good Jenny. Of course how can anything with bacon or bacon grease be bad? :) I'm stopping by from the Let's Get Real Friday link party. That's so much for linking up and sharing this with us. I hope you'll join us again on Friday.
