Tips for Making the Best Confetti Cauliflower:

  • Choose the right cauliflower. Look for a head of cauliflower that is compact and has tightly packed florets. Avoid heads with any signs of bruising or damage.
  • Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. This will help them cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the sauce.
  • Roast the cauliflower before adding the sauce. This will help to caramelize the cauliflower and give it a slightly crispy texture.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in the sauce. This will add flavor and texture to the dish. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, and onions.
  • Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what really brings the dish together, so make sure to use one that you enjoy. Some good options include a creamy Alfredo sauce, a tangy tomato sauce, or a spicy buffalo sauce.
  • Serve the confetti cauliflower immediately. This is when it is at its best, when the cauliflower is still crispy and the sauce is hot and bubbly.
