Notes

For best results, ensure the cauliflower is cut into similar-sized florets for even cooking. If you prefer a crunchier texture, extend the cooking time by a few minutes but keep a close eye to prevent burning. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste, and consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice before serving for a fresh zing.
