Chef's notes
Use a hot oven to help the cauliflower florets crisp up and caramelize.
Use convection setting on the oven if available.
Don't crowd the florets on the baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
Experiment with various seasoning options like curry powder, za’atar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, or a punchy sauce like pesto, romesco, or tahini sauce.
