Can you cook cauliflower in the microwave?

Method 1: Steaming

1. Prep: Cut the cauliflower into florets.

2. Steam: Place the florets in a microwave-safe bowl with a small amount of water (about 1/4 cup). Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap (pierce a few holes in the plastic wrap to allow steam to escape).

3. Microwave: Cook on high for 5-7 minutes, or until the florets are tender.

4. Season: Season as desired.

Method 2: Roasting

1. Prep: Cut the cauliflower into florets and toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.

2. Microwave: Spread the florets in a single layer on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 5-7 minutes, or until the florets are tender and slightly browned.

Tips:

* Smaller florets cook faster.

* Don't overcrowd the bowl or plate.

* Microwave times will vary depending on the wattage of your microwave.

* Check the cauliflower frequently to avoid overcooking.

* For a crispier texture, try roasting the cauliflower instead of steaming it.
