Why is my roasted cauliflower soggy? Sogginess is typically caused by overcrowding the pan or not using a high enough oven temperature. Ensure florets are in a single layer with space between them and that the oven is fully preheated.
You Must Know
The key to achieving a crispy, caramelized result is to avoid moving the cauliflower too much while it roasts. Let it sit undisturbed on the hot baking sheet for the first 20 minutes to develop a seared, crispy crust. The moisture must evaporate for browning to occur.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover roasted cauliflower in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or toaster oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 10 minutes to restore crispiness. Reheating in a microwave will result in a soft texture.
