Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

On a large baking sheet, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
Step 9
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
