1 head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized chunks of approximately equal size.
~1 tsp. Spanish smoked paprika (sweet, not hot, though if you wanted to throw in a bit of a hot chile powder, I bet that would be nice.)
~1/2 tsp. ground cumin
olive oil, salt, and pepper

Steps
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Toss the cauliflower in a bowl with enough olive oil to lightly coat. Add the spices and salt and pepper to taste, and toss to coat.
Roast in a baking pan in the oven until tender and lightly browned, stirring every 10 minutes or so. (My cauliflower took about 25 to 30 minutes).

I think if you tossed in a tsp of cocoa powder into that mix.. you'd be pretty close.

I know of at least 2 other FTers with that cookbook (Gluten-Free Girl) so maybe they'll chime in.
She's pretty darn close.

I would suggest checking out Shauna's blog and look at the recipes for other suggestions. I know that cauliflower is used by lots of people looking to get that mashed potato consistency without the potatoes.
