- Place fresh or frozen cauliflower florets onto the baking sheet, space them apart, sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper. Place in the oven (center rack) and roast for 15 to 30 minutes or until tender. The timing is largely dependent upon fresh or frozen cauliflower, the size of the florets, and the desired tenderness.

*We recommend doubling the sauce for a large roasted cauliflower. This will create 5-6 servings with a generous amount of sauce.
*Sea Salt: Please adjust the sea salt based upon your family’s sea salt preferences and/or based upon dietary needs.
*Servings: Sauce makes about 2/3 cup (3 to 4 servings)
