Roasted frozen cauliflower is so easy to make and is great as a side dish or even as a snack with the right dipping sauce. This simple baked frozen cauliflower is made with pantry and freezer ingredients and is so versatile. With almost no prep, this roasted frozen cauliflower is low carb, vegan, Whole30 and paleo friendly.
Add frozen cauliflower to a baking sheet. Move all the frozen cauliflower together in the center of the baking sheet. Spray with olive oil spray and sprinkle with salt and garlic powder. Stir well.
Bake at 425F for 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes, take the cauliflower out of the oven and stir it well. Place back in the oven and cook another 15 minutes.
Notes
Top tips
No need to defrost the cauliflower before cooking. You want to put it in the oven frozen for the best texture.
Always make at least 2 bags of frozen cauliflower at a time. The leftovers are great and you will be surprised how quickly this roasted cauliflower disappears, its so yummy.
Before baking, I like to look over the cauliflower and break up any large chunks or even cut large florets in half, so they are closer in size to the smaller florets. This helps ensure everything will roast together at the same time.
Be sure to use a large baking sheet to ensure that there is some room for air to pass between the frozen cauliflower as they bake in the oven. I love these stainless steel baking sheets, they are large and you don't even need parchment paper when roasting veggies.
For easier clean up, you can put parchment paper down on the baking sheet before adding the cauliflower.
