Notes

  • Cut the cauliflower into bite-size pieces
  • to keep this roasted cauliflower recipe vegan friendly, you may use dairy-free cheese or skip the cheese completely.
  • If you prefer to bake these cauliflowers instead of roasting, you can set the oven temperate on Bake at 400 F. Halfway through add the cauliflower and follow the same directions.
  • Use garlic powder, not fresh garlic
  • Any other oil of choice will work.
  • You may cook longer if you like your cauliflower to be more on the crispy side.
