• Spread cauliflower onto the prepared baking sheet; spray liberally with cooking spray. Season cauliflower with spice mixture.
• Roast in the preheated oven until cauliflower is tender, 30 to 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Place cauliflower in a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with garlic salt; toss to coat. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 15-18 minutes or until tender, stirring once. Sprinkle with cheese.

• Trim the head of cauliflower, discarding the core and thick stems; cut florets into pieces about the size of ping-pong balls.
• In a large bowl, combine the olive oil and salt, whisk, then add the cauliflower pieces and toss thoroughly.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup (you can skip that, if you don't have any) then spread the cauliflower pieces on the sheet and roast for 1 hour, turning 3 or 4 times, until most of each piece has turned golden brown.
• (The browner the cauliflower pieces turn, the more caramelization occurs and the sweeter they'll taste).
• Serve immediately and enjoy!

• Combine 2 tablespoons butter and the olive oil in a large skillet and heat on medium high until butter is foaming. Add blanched cauliflower and season with salt, pepper and sugar.

Transfer to a serving bowl.
• Pour Chardonnay into pan, turn heat to high and bring to a boil. Boil, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan with a wooden spoon until liquid is reduced by half and slightly thickened.
