Notes
Do not thaw the frozen cauliflower prior to roasting.
You can reheat your roasted frozen cauliflower, but I find it best eaten within 1-2 days of roasting.
This base recipe gives you so much freedom to add your favorite seasonings and flavors. I love mixing in garlic powder, Everything But the Bagel Seasoning, Montreal Steak Seasoning, curry powder, smoked paprika, and grated Parmesan.
Don’t crowd the pan! Give the cauliflower plenty of space to roast. Too much veg all smushed together will cause the water to steam instead of evaporating. Try using two or even three pans if you want to roast larger batches.
