Notes
*A larger cauliflower may be around 2 pounds and may fill two baking trays, plus require a little more oil and salt. Switch trays partway through if using two trays, and using a convection cooking option would be perfect for this.
**If preferred, toss together cauliflower, olive oil, garlic powder if using, and salt in a large bowl and spread out on the baking tray.
***For more crisp cauliflower, expect about 18-20 minutes, for softer cauliflower, about 23-25 minutes. Flipping is not required but may help with more even browning.
