Chef's pro tip
When slicing the cauliflower, keep the core intact to keep the florets together. Ensure your cauliflower slices are just the right thickness; the florets will fall apart if they are too thin. So, maintain an even 2-inch thickness.

Seasoning doesn't taste like much. Takes a long time to cook. Didn't like it.
