Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is compact and heavy, with tightly packed florets. Avoid heads with any signs of bruising or wilting.
  • Cut the cauliflower into evenly sized florets: This will help them cook evenly. If the florets are too large, they may not cook through, and if they are too small, they may overcook and become mushy.
  • Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper: This will help them roast evenly and develop a nice golden brown color.
  • Roast the cauliflower florets at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a crispy texture.
  • Stir the cauliflower florets occasionally: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Cook the cauliflower florets until they are tender and slightly browned: This will take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Serve the roasted cauliflower florets immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Roasted Cajun cauliflower is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
