TIPS

  • For extra crispiness, do not overcrowd the baking tray.
  • Pat cauliflower dry before seasoning to remove excess moisture.
  • Add breadcrumbs for a crunchy coating.
  • Serve with garlic mayo, yogurt dip, or chili sauce.
  • For vegan version, skip Parmesan or use vegan cheese.
  • Try adding cumin or curry powder for a different flavor twist.
