Baked Whole Cauliflower
If you like different food presentations, I am sure you will love this recipe. It looks very stylish on the table. and despite its elegance, it is a very simple recipe. Even better, it is a light meal that can be included in the category of diet food. I enjoyed it while I was preparing and eating it. I hope you also get the chance to try and enjoy it.
There aren't many tricks to watch out for. You just need to pay attention to the amount of boiling the cauliflower. If it is cooked too much, it may disperse, if it is not boiled enough, it will be crunchy. Boiling time will vary greatly depending on the size of your cauliflower, so I cannot specify a time. You can check if it is soft by sticking a fork or knife into it.
