1 head of cauliflower
1 C seasoned bread crumbs
3 TBSP olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced fine
¼ tsp. chili powder

Lay the pieces on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Roast the cauliflower for 15 minutes.
Place the bread crumbs into the bowl that contained the olive oil.
If there is not enough oil to coat the crumbs add 1 TBSP.
Add the garlic and chili powder and toss.
Remove the cauliflower from the oven and turn each piece.
The cauliflower should be turning a light brown.
Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the top of the cauliflower.
Return to the oven and continue roasting another 10 minutes.

Have some fun with these poppers. Find different types of seasoning to make them taste a little different each time. Also be sure to serve them as soon as they come out of the oven. If they set too long they become mushy and not very tasty.
