Directions

1. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place frozen cauliflower into the dry skillet, breaking up any clumps and spreading it out as much as possible for maximum surface area.

2. Stir the frozen cauliflower while allowing the moisture to release until cauliflower is hot and dry, approximately 5-6 minutes. Remove all moisture but do not allow the cauliflower to burn—when all the moisture is gone the cauliflower will have a neutral, non-cauliflower odor.

3. Once the cauliflower is hot and dry, turn off the heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil (or oil of choice) to the pan and stir. Immediately add the salt, pepper, and spice blend of your choice, stirring to coat all the cauliflower. Serve immediately.
