Baked Cauliflower

I don’t even know if this is considered a “recipe”! I just have had a number of people say my baked cauliflower is so good and want to know how to do it. My family loves eating cauliflower this way:

• 2 heads cauliflower, cut into bite size pieces
• 1/2 c. butter
• 1 t. salt
• 1/2 t. black pepper
• 2 t. garlic powder
• 2 t. onion powder

Place cauliflower in a large roaster pan so it is in a single layer. Slice the butter and place on the cauliflower. Sprinkle on the spices. Bake at 350 degrees for an hour, stirring every 15-20 minutes. If you want to “crisp” it up, broil it for a few minutes when it has reached your desired tenderness. Everyone likes veggies a certain tenderness. I like mine cooked firm but not crunchy. Jon likes is well done so he can mash it up. I suggest giving yourself extra time for baking in the event you like it to be more mushy! It also depends on how small of pieces you are doing. The smaller the piece the faster it will cook. Or if the pan is not just a single layer, it will take a bit longer to cook. The main part is that you get the butter and seasoning stirred onto the pieces and then to “crisp” or “brown” it when it’s done. Adds just a good yum!
