Tips and Tricks For Roasting Cauliflower:
- Cut the cauliflower into evenly sized florets. The more even the size, the more even the roasting.
- Use enough oil so that each floret has a nice coating.
- Season the cauliflower. Even simple salt and pepper will help the taste in the cauliflower come out.
- Do not crowd the baking sheet or the cauliflower will steam instead of roast, and your cauliflower will end up mushy.
- Use a high oven temperature. 400 degrees F to 425 degrees F is ideal for roasting cauliflower.
