When you’re making our cauliflower, make sure to adjust cooking times based on how big you cut the cauliflower florets. Larger florets require longer cooking times. If you like smaller bites of cauliflower, then you’re going to cook it for less time. What ever you decide to do, make sure to roast it until it has some crispy edges because that’s what make it super duper delicious. We love the cheesy, burnt crispy bits on everything!

This was so yummy, even my husband who does not like cauliflower loved this! It was very simple, quick to cook! This could be my main dish.
Excellent recipe. I used 3 cheese’s, mozzarella, parmesan and cheddar. We absolutely loved it. Better than potatoes. This will be a new staple.
This is really delicious! Our family are really big cauliflower lovers. This was a definite hit and I’m going to try your broccoli version soon. Thanks!
Perfect for my Keto diet and really cheesy good! I added some bacon bits on top. Love it.
I only have frozen cauliflower. I’ll let you know if it turned out. This recipe really sounds like a keeper.

Wonderful! Thanks for the recipe! I used a favorite root veggie spice blend and a mozzarella and parmesan combo. Perfect comfort food on a zero degree Chicago day!
Love the combo of cheese Jeffrey! Thanks for sharing and stay warm! 🙂
As a cauliflower lover, this recipe is DA BOMB! 10/10 would definitely be making again.
Love the garlic cheesy flavors! Really good recipe!
Had to make a few slight adjustments due to missing some ingredients, but turned out AMAZING! Used fresh garlic instead of powder but that made it even better. Definately a go-to cauliflower recipe.
Thanks for the feedback and so glad you enjoyed it Pat!
