I tried this for my 86 year old mother, she loved it .She ate a cereal bowl full. I did add a little red crushed pepper.
Thanks for trying my recipe.
This looks amazing! How are the flowerets sliced? They look flat here. Are they cut off or each sliced down through?
Thank you for a new way to enjoy cauliflower! Delicious!
This is a superb recipe, it tastes as good as it looks. I threw in onions once (eww, don’t do it!) and have tried it with garlic. My husband can hardly wait till it’s out of the oven. Thanks for my new, very favorite cauliflower recipe!

Hey there! Love how simple and yummy this recipe is. Hope you don’t mind I linked to it on my blog: http://ketogasm.com/cauliflower-low-carb-vegetable/
Do these store well for snacking or should this only be served right away as a side dish?
You can serve it as a side dish. It doesn’t taste as good after they turn cold.
