Method

Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick spray. Set the oven to 425°F, convection.
Place the cauliflower florets in a bowl. Add the chickpea flour, water, lemon pepper, ground cumin, garlic powder, and salt.
Mix the ingredients together well. Place the cauliflower florets onto the baking sheet individually with a spoon or tongs. Pour any leftover batter on top of the florets. Spray lightly with non-stick spray.
After 10 - 15 minutes, turn over each piece so all sides will be browned.
Bake for about 18 minutes or until lightly browned.
