    Lately, I've felt like my family is stuck in a side dish rut. I pretty much run a rotation of steamed broccoli, green beans, and salads with the occasional cauli mash mixed in.

    I have been determined to diversify our meals and this sheet pan loaded cauliflower is one of my biggest hits yet. Not only is it easy to make, but it's totally delicious and goes well with a ton of main courses

    How to make perfect roasted cauliflower

    Roasting cauliflower gives it an entirely different flavor and is a great way to change things up. It's also very simple, requiring just a few minutes of hands-on time to make.

    Start by cutting a head of cauliflower into florets of about the same size. This ensures uniform cooking. The smaller the florets, the less time they will take to roast, so if you are short on time you can cut them a bit smaller.

    Ingredient substitutions

    • Fresh cauliflower is best, but you can also use frozen! Simply swap frozen cauliflower florets for the fresh and increase the oven temp to 450 degrees F.
    • You can also replace some or all of the cauliflower with fresh or frozen broccoli.
    • You can substitute bacon grease, avocado oil, or butter flavored coconut oil for the olive oil.
    • Regular salt can be used in place of the season salt.
    • Feel free to use precooked bacon crumbles in place of the fresh bacon. You can usually find these in the salad dressing aisle of most supermarkets.
