Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can slice the cauliflower and marinate it a few hours in advance, then roast right before serving.

You can use BBQ sauce, tahini, or a spicy aioli to enhance the flavors.

Fresh cauliflower yields the best results, but if using frozen, be sure to thaw and drain excess moisture before cooking.
