I would have liked it better if the cauliflower had been roasted for a bit longer. It was still a bit too crunchy for my taste.

Meh. Not really my cup of tea. The cauliflower tasted bland and the spices were overpowering.

I've tried numerous cauliflower recipes in the past, but this one truly stands out. The combination of garlic, herbs, and parmesan creates a flavor profile that's both sophisticated and comforting. Highly recommend!
