How to Roast Cauliflower in the Oven – how to roast a whole head of cauliflower in the oven so it turns out every time!
Could not be easier, you guys!
This is one of those recipes that always comes in handy – a whole head of cauliflower is a great entree or it can be cut up to be used in a salad or just as a regular side dish!
How to Roast a Whole Cauliflower:
- Preheat your oven to 400.
- Remove leaves and stem from cauliflower so the bottom is flat.
- Rub with garlic, olive oil, salt pepper.
- Roast in oven for 30-40 minutes.
How to Reheat Cauliflower:
I get asked this question a lot – honestly the best way is to put it back in the oven at 350 until it is hot. You can also reheat it in the microwave, but it can get a little mushy. Otherwise, you could also sauté in a saucepan on the stove top too!
