    How Long to Bake Cauliflower?

    Baking Temperature and Time - You can roast or bake the cauliflower at 425°F for about 10 to 15 minutes. If the florets are large then feel free to increase the baking time up to 20 minutes.

    For a more charred and smoky cauliflower, I recommend switching the bake mode to broil for the last 3 to 5 minutes. You could also use other preferred temperatures and adjust the time for similar results. But adjusting the temperature settings to low will increase the roasting time.

    Tips

    • For Taste and Flavor - Adding spice powders like ginger, garlic, chili, coriander and pepper powder gives nice flavor and taste to this dish
    • Substitute for Spice - You can also substitute the spice powders with curry powder which gives similar taste and flavor
    • Broiling - You can also broil the veggies for last 2 minutes in low setting for a more charred and smokey flavor
