Ingredients

1. 1 large head cauliflower (about 3 pounds), cut into florets
2. 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3. 1 teaspoon sugar
4. 1/2 teaspoon salt
5. 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
6. 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
7. 1/2 teaspoon hot paprika
8. 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
9. Coarse salt, for sprinkling

1. Preheat the oven to 500°. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower with the butter. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, salt, pepper, sweet and hot paprika and the cinnamon. Toss the spices with the cauliflower until evenly coated. Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the florets are crisp-tender and caramelized. Mound the florets on a serving platter or in a colorful glass bowl and sprinkle with coarse salt. Serve hot or warm, with toothpicks.
