Notes
- Bake time will slightly vary depending on the size of your florets.
- This recipe is super adaptable: garnish with cilantro instead of green onions, use lime instead of lemon, hot pepper jelly instead of the chili sauce, or add seasonings like smoked paprika and onion powder. You have my blessing to make it however you'd like. ?
- If using frozen cauliflower, do not let the cauliflower thaw prior to roasting. It's convenient using frozen for recipes like this. However, I do prefer using fresh!
- Double the batch to make some for meal prep, or just to have for leftovers to snack on.
- Preheat the baking sheet: while you chop up the cauliflower, stick the sheet pan in the oven while it’s preheating. This will create a hotter surface for the cauliflower and make them extra crispy and crunchy!
