Roasted frozen cauliflower is tender & soft on the inside and it has a slightly crispy texture outside, which is perfect.

I also have the recipe for roasted frozen broccoli, which is also super easy to make, delicious, healthy & nutritious!

To make the roasted frozen cauliflower, we first coat the frozen cauliflower florets in some mild spices and oil and lemon juice, which you may adjust based on your preferences.

And then just roast the frozen cauliflower florets directly in the preheated oven!

Since I have used golden yellow colored turmeric spice (optional), these oven roasted frozen cauliflower florets turned out so bright & colorful too!

I have this baked cauliflower florets recipe from fresh cauliflower which I used as a topping for Indian style pasta here, but this roasted frozen cauliflower is more easier than making roasted cauliflower from fresh cauliflower.

No need to thaw them prior to baking them in the oven and so this method is more quicker and you can save time for your dinner preparations.

Even when you have guests for your dinner or if you are making dinner just for your family, this healthy, nutritious, delicious and easy roasted frozen cauliflower florets make the perfect vegetable side dish.

It cannot get more easier than this!

Other than the easiness to prepare roasted frozen cauliflower, another advantage is that you can find the frozen cauliflower florets almost all year round in the stores and they can be stored in the freezer of your refrigerator for a very long time (remember that the fresh cauliflower can last only few days).

They can be purchased from the stores in the frozen form, and you can store in the freezer for much longer time.

So making the roasted cauliflower using frozen cauliflower is so easy & convenient and quick!

No washing, cleaning , cutting or chopping included for the frozen cauliflower florets so the preparation time for roasted frozen cauliflower is close to nil.

In brief, the advantages of roasted frozen cauliflower include convenience, quick and easy to make, very less or close to zero preparation time, very versatile in preparation, goes with almost any kind of meal, vegetarian, vegan so most kinds of diets can include them, healthy, nutritious, wholesome and delicious!

If you have fresh cauliflower, you can find more information on how to freeze cauliflower here, if you wish to freeze cauliflower or want to learn more about freezing cauliflowers in general.

I almost always have a couple of bags of frozen cauliflower in my freezer so we can have roasted veggies for a quick, nutritious side.

In fact, I always have some frozen produce in my freezer to prepare quick and easy meal for my family.

That includes frozen peas, frozen mixed vegetables, frozen broccoli, frozen carrots and most definitely frozen cauliflower and frozen corn!

If you like frozen produce too, try this easy roasted frozen mini corn on the cob and easy instant pot frozen mini corn on the cob with milk & butter (video recipe) as well.

Spices To Season Oven Roasted Frozen Cauliflower Florets

I have used here some simple spices based on my personal preferences, and you may adjust the spices based on your preferences too.

I have used turmeric powder as one of the spices to flavor the cauliflower, which makes the cauliflower more colorful by giving a golden yellow color to the florets.

The addition of turmeric also makes it more healthy & tasty. However, adding turmeric is not necessary and you may skip it if you do not have turmeric at home.

To make it more spicy, you may add spices like curry powder if you like (just use a small amount like 1/2 teaspoon or so if you are using).

So here is how you can make this simple and delicious oven roasted cauliflower using frozen cauliflower florets.

How To Make Roasted Frozen Cauliflower?

onion powder 1/2 teaspoon

garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon

ginger powder 1/4 teaspoon

turmeric powder 1/4 teaspoon (optional)

black pepper powder 1/4 teaspoon

lemon juice 1 teaspoon

olive oil 2 tablespoons

Steps To Follow (The Process)

Preheat oven to 400 degree Fahrenheit.

Transfer the frozen cauliflower florets to a large bowl.

Drizzle olive oil in the cauliflower florets.

Sprinkle salt and all the spice powders. Also add the lemon juice.

Then toss the florets in spices, oil and lemon juice very well using a large spoon or spatula so all the ingredients are combined evenly and the florets are coated well with the spice mix.

You can also use the oven roasted cauliflower in pasta, or use them to make curry, soup, stews etc or use them in salads as you like.

Can You Double This Recipe?

Yes, you can double the recipe if you want more servings. You can use two 12 oz bags of frozen cauliflower if you want to double the recipe.

You will need to increase the amounts of spices, salt, oil, lemon juice etc accordingly, based on your personal preference, if you double this recipe.

However, make sure that when you arrange the cauliflower florets in the baking sheet, they should not be crowded and they should be arranged in a single layer.

If they are crowded, they won’t get roasted properly. So you may use a larger baking sheet or you may bake them in multiple batches if needed.

The baking time, oven temperature etc will remain the same even when you double the recipe.
