How to Prepare Cauliflower Florets
Cauliflower is a compact and heavy vegetable, so it is easy to work with. For this baked cauliflower recipe:
Wash & Drain After rinsing, drain well (leftover water will steam and they won’t brown as nicely). Remove any green leaves at the bottom and cut off the stem. Cut Cut the entire head in half vertically from the stem up. Then, with your fingers, break apart each half into smaller pieces. These are the florets.
How to Make Baked Cauliflower
This recipe is very simple but if I have fresh herbs on hand, I add those in too! Feel free to season with anything you like even toss with a dressing after it comes out of the oven! These times are a guide if you like your cauliflower softer, cook it longer if you prefer more tender-crisp, cook it less. A higher temperature will give more browning (and flavor). I personally don’t stir them, I like one side to get nice and browned. Don’t overcook them, you still want them to be a little crunchy!
