Tips from my kicthen
Recipe Tip
- Cut the cauliflower florets into equal sizes so they cook evenly.
- Store leftovers in a container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Feel free to add other veggies like broccoli or zucchini.
- Add Parmesan for an extra flavor twist.
Common Questions
Yes. You will need to allow an additional 10-15 minutes into the cooking time to allow the cauliflower florets to thaw.
Cauliflower florets need at least 30-45 minutes until they become tender and crispy when baked or roasted at 350-400°F. You may always check using a fork to see if the cauliflower is tender and crispy enough to your liking. Some like having that bit of crunch, while others love them completely tender and crispy.
I do not recommend freezing leftovers because they will just end up being soggy and mushy once thawed. If that is fine with you then you may freeze them and re-roast them in the oven again.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
