Can you substitute frozen rainbow cauliflower florets?

If you do not have frozen rainbow cauliflower florets, you can use fresh cauliflower too.

If you use fresh cauliflower, the roasting time will slightly reduce, so it is a good idea to check the cauliflower after about 20 minutes of baking time.

Also, you may use any color cauliflower that is available to you.

If you use just purple cauliflower or orange cauliflower or green cauliflower or the usual white cauliflower it should work fine.

Just make sure to use almost the same amount of cauliflower to use in this recipe or you will need to adjust the seasonings as needed.
