Be sure to leave a rating and a comment below! Cut a Flat Side: Place each floret flat side down so it gets nice and brown. Generously oil the cauliflower for best results. High-Temperature: The key to caramelization (and flavor) is ensuring that the outside has a chance to brown before the inside overcooks so cook at a high temperature (425°F). Preheat the Pan: Place the empty pan in the oven to preheat while you prepare the cauliflower. Setting the florets on a hot pan ensures they crisp and brown beautifully. Do Not Stir or Flip: Just like when you make fried mushrooms, it takes some time to develop a nice crust. Let the underside of the cauliflower get a nice crust without stirring it. © SpendWithPennies.com. Content and photographs are copyright protected.
