VARIATIONS: Top with parmesan cheese, a squeeze of lemon, and add some crushed red pepper flakes to add some spice; drizzle with melted cheese sauce.
TOP TIPS: For even cooking use a microwave safe dish with rounded edges. Do not use metal. There are variances in wattage for each microwave so cooking time is an estimate. Check after 6 minutes and continue cooking and checking doneness until the cauliflower is done to your liking.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve with butter, salt, and pepper.
