Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is compact and has tightly packed florets. Avoid heads that are loose or have brown or yellow spots.
  • Trim the cauliflower: Remove the tough outer leaves from the cauliflower and cut off the stem. Then, cut the cauliflower into florets. You can cut the florets into bite-sized pieces or leave them whole.
  • Preheat the oven: Before you start cooking the cauliflower, preheat the oven to the desired temperature. This will help the cauliflower cook evenly.
  • Roast the cauliflower: Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the florets in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
  • Add a kick: To give the cauliflower a kick, you can add a variety of spices and herbs. Some good options include chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or basil.
