Enjoy convenience at its most delicious with Roasted Frozen Cauliflower—seasoned vegetables made with the greatest of ease.
Sometimes the most delicious aspect of a meal is the convenience with which it’s made. That’s the case with this dish: Roasted Frozen Cauliflower.
As the name indicates, we’re turning to that section of the grocery store I don’t typically explore: the one filled with all the frozen vegetables. When time allows, I will always choose fresh (unless the recipe specifically calls for frozen). But on those occasions when my watch is ticking and my calendar is quickly filling up, I turn to the ice-cold variety.
Luckily, cauliflower is more than accommodating. Not only can it serve as my pizza crust and my low-carb rice replacement, it can taste great even frozen.
Is roasted frozen cauliflower healthy?
Yes, cauliflower is a vegetable that contains a multitude of nutrients, minerals, vitamins, and fiber. It’s low in carbs, making it a favorite for those on keto and low-carb diets. It’s also suitable for vegan (ensure the vegetable seasoning contains no animal products), vegetarian, dairy-free, paleo (depending on the seasoning), gluten-free, and Mediterranean diets.
What is in the roast vegetable seasoning?
Typically, you’ll find some or all of rosemary, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, and celery salt. You can either make your own or, in the spirit of convenience in this dish, buy it pre-packaged. If you’re going the latter route, inspect the label to see what it’s packing.
Do I need to stir/flip the cauliflower?
It’s not necessary if you are using a large pan. But if your pan is small and the cauliflower is crowded, you may want to stir things up to ensure even cooking.
How to store roasted frozen cauliflower?
Let the cauliflower cool completely then store in an airtight container. It should keep for up to 4 days in the fridge. To reheat, place it back in the oven at 375°F until warmed through. You can also freeze the cauliflower. Place the florets on a baking sheet then put it in the freezer until each piece is solid. Take them out and place them in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. They should keep for 3 months.
