Notes
- Use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder
- The amount of garlic might be a lot for some. I recommend using 2-3 medium garlic if you do not like garlic much.
- Swap the butter with olive oil
- Do not over-cook the cauliflower
- Go ahead and add in some boiled potatoes as well with the cauliflower if you like.
