Ingredients

12 oz frozen cauliflower florets
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon onion powder or garlic powder (optional)
¼ cup grated parmesan (optional) (optional)

You can find detailed step-by step-photos above the recipe card.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 430°F (230°C).
Add the frozen cauliflower florets onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Season with olive oil, salt and onion powder and give it a good stir so that all the florets are coated evenly.
Spread the florets out on the tray and try to ensure that each piece or floret has its own space.
Bake for 15 minutes. Stir with a spatula or large spoon and bake for another 10 minutes.
Stir again, trying to flip as many florets as possible. If you want to add some grated parmesan, now would be the time. Sprinkle it evenly over the cauliflower. Bake for another 5-10 minutes.

Notes

Oven temperature: A high oven temperature is crucial to avoid eating mushy vegetables. You want them crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Spread them out: try to ensure each piece or floret has its own space. This will prevent the elements from steaming and becoming mushy as they squash up alongside each other.
