The Crispiest Cauliflower I’ve Ever Made (And It Only Takes 30 Minutes)

You know what’s funny? For years, I thought cauliflower was just… boring. A filler. Something you steamed into oblivion and plopped next to a chicken breast when you were trying to “be good.” But then one chilly Sunday afternoon, with a glass of wine in hand and a craving for something crispy but guilt-free, I tried searing cauliflower before roasting it — and let me tell you, my oven’s never been the same. The edges caramelized beautifully, the inside stayed tender (but not mushy), and that golden crust? Irresistible. It was one of those rare moments in the kitchen when …
