You can use frozen cauliflower, but we prefer fresh here because it caramelizes better. If you choose to use frozen, don’t thaw it beforehand, and keep an eye on it, as it may require a bit more time in the oven.

To choose the best head of cauliflower<\/a>, look for one that is firm and tightly packed. It should feel heavy for its size, and the leaves should be fresh and green. Additionally, smell it. If the smell is strong and off-putting, choose another one. When preparing to roast the cauliflower, make sure that the florets are cut to a similar size and avoid overcrowding the pan. Spread them evenly across the entire baking sheet, leaving space between the florets to promote browning instead of steaming. Additionally, be mindful of the cooking time to prevent overcooking. You can store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When it’s time to reheat them, you have a few options. You can cover the leftovers with a damp paper towel and heat them in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes. However, keep in mind that they may not be as crispy as when reheated in a 350°F oven or air fryer. This side dish goes well with any protein, and we have a lot of great recipes to try it with. Here’s a sampling of some of our favorites: Skillet Bruschetta Chicken<\/a>, Slow-Cooker Balsamic Short Ribs<\/a>, Easy Meatloaf<\/a> and Lemon-Garlic Grilled Cod<\/a>. And roasted cauliflower pairs well with almost any green vegetable side dish, from spinach<\/a> to green beans<\/a>. <\/p>"
