EQUIPMENT:

• Bowl (large)
• Rimmed baking sheet

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 ½ teaspoon dried dill weed
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1 medium head of cauliflower cut into 1-inch florets
• 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

INGREDIENT NOTES:

CAULIFLOWER:

• Since frozen cauliflower tends to go mushy, fresh cauliflower is preferable. You may either use a package of precut cauliflower florets or cut your florets from a head of cauliflower.

CHEDDAR CHEESE:

• I often grate mine since I want large pieces of cheese. It delivers greater coverage and melts better, in my opinion. Orange or white cheddar can be used.

AVOCADO OIL:

• Avocado oil is utilized to roast the cauliflower and it is an alternative to olive oil.

HOMEMADE RANCH SEASONING:

• Homemade ranch seasoning is prepared with ground black pepper, kosher salt, desiccated parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder.

INSTRUCTION:

PREPARE THE SEASONING BLEND:

1. Combine the dill weed, parsley, onion, garlic powders, salt, and pepper in a big basin.

GET THE CAULIFLOWER:

1. Arrange the cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer.
2. Pour the oil over everything, then include the ranch seasoning powder on the cauliflower.
3. Toss the cauliflower to coat.

PREHEAT THE CAULIFLOWER:

1. Roast the cauliflower for around twenty mints, or till the cauliflower is indulgent and golden brown.
2. Switch off the oven.

PUT THE CHEESE:

1. After adding the shredded cheese, put the oven back on for about five minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

TIPS:

• I usually suggest using a metal pan without paper while roasting veggies in the oven. The vegetables get more toasted and scorched from the hot pan, although cleanup could take a little longer.
• Boiling some water, then pouring it in the pan and letting it set, is the secret to cleaning such pans. Afterward, it would be very stress-free to brush off all the fragments.
• For this dish, I like sharp cheddar, either orange or white. The ranch seasoning and cauliflower enhance the taste.

STORAGE INFORMATION:

FRIDGE:

• Put the roasted cauliflower in the sealed box and stock it for up to three days.

FREEZER:

• Put the roasted cauliflower individually in the tray and then transfer to the Ziploc bag and stock it up for six to eight months.

FAQs:

Why my roasted cauliflower will not get crispy?

• You probably packed the pan too full if your roasted cauliflower is soft and mushy with no browned edges. Vegetable gets steam instead of roasting when the pieces are too close to one another because moisture cannot escape as readily.
• Additionally, I find that the cauliflower doesn’t crisp up well when covered with parchment paper. To make the undersides crisp and beautifully browned, I suggest heating it directly on the metal pan.

Are there carbohydrates in roasted cauliflower?

• Although cauliflower contains some carbohydrates, it also contains a lot of fiber and other essential elements. Each serving of this roasted cauliflower dish has 2g of fiber and 5.5g of carbohydrates. Each serving has 3.5g of net carbohydrates.

How should leftover roasted cauliflower be stored?

• Remains can be preserve in the refrigerator for up to three days in a sealed & tight container. Gently reheat in the microwave or oven.
