I love za'atar ! Ditto sumac ! And cumin . . . . cauliflower naturally ! know I'll devour this as soon as it exits the oven !!! With all the current culinary stress to eat more vegetables both for self and the planet, cauliflower 'steak' recipes have become super popular here . . . well, this is a little different and I am certain I'll empty my platter as fast as your boys did yours ! As far as recipes go we all have different needs and likes, abilities to buy ingredients and different skill levels in cooking . . . always Asian for me and, as I usually cook for self most days . . . a brief cooking period I guess is welcome. Don't keep diets 🙂 !

Thanks so much Eha. There is something so addictive about the little crispy ends of the crispy roasted cauliflower bites. We also eat plenty of Asian recipes here but we like to mix it up a bit and eat around the world. You should see our spice cabinet! Traveling the world from your spice cabinet is so fun.
