How to Make the Best Tasting Roasted Cauliflower

After roasting them for years, I’ve found that there are several tricks to making the tastiest cauliflower that’s evenly cooked with the best texture that’s crispy and not mushy:

• When you cut them into florets, try to make them all similar in size to ensure even cooking.
• If you wash the cauliflower before cooking, make sure they are dry before adding seasoning.
• Toss with oil and seasoning in a separate bowl to make sure they are evenly coated.
• Roast in an even single layer without crowding the pan. Use two pans if you need to.
• Many ovens heat unevenly so make sure to turn the pan halfway through cooking.

These tips are pretty simple and easy to follow so make sure to not skip out on them. I promise – they really do make a difference!
