Notes
- Soak the cauliflower in salted water to make sure all debris is removed. Rinse well.
- Cut the florets into even sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Use cornstarch if you can, it will make the sauce thicken well.
- Sometimes it is hard to get that really crispy cauliflower in the oven. Feel free to air-fry them. Follow my air fryer instructions.
- Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
