Additional Notes/Tips
- Want extra crunch? Broil the last 2 minutes—but don’t walk away or you’ll be eating charcoal.
- Add hot sauce before baking for buffalo vibes without regret.
- Store leftovers in the fridge, reheat in the oven—not the microwave unless you want mush.
- Use parchment, not foil. You're baking cauliflower, not auditioning for a kitchen disaster show.
- Sprinkle extra nutritional yeast for bold, cheesy flavor without actual dairy shade.
