Tips:
- To save time, use a food processor to grate the cauliflower.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can use a box grater to grate the cauliflower. Just be sure to use the smallest holes on the grater.
- Be sure to squeeze out as much moisture from the grated cauliflower as possible. This will help the cauliflower to brown and crisp up in the oven.
- To make the cauliflower extra crispy, roast it at a high temperature (425 degrees Fahrenheit or 220 degrees Celsius) for 20-25 minutes.
- For a more tender cauliflower, roast it at a lower temperature (375 degrees Fahrenheit or 190 degrees Celsius) for 30-35 minutes.
- Feel free to add other vegetables to the cauliflower, such as broccoli, zucchini, or carrots.
- Serve the roasted cauliflower with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, hummus, or tzatziki sauce.
