Cauliflower is pretty much hit or miss.

Just show me da recipe brah

Depending on what you make or how you make it the results are definitely going to vary. Cauliflower is pretty bland tbh. It’s basically great value broccoli.

When I was a kid I used to imagine I was eating trees when I was eating it. You can’t do that with cauliflower. It ain’t the same. Cauliflower is mad crumbly and crunchy at the same time. That’s the worst combo in history. Straight up.

But now that I roasted cauliflower, I’m finna tell y’all that this was actually good. It was better than I thought it’d be. It actually takes on the texture of a chicken sandwich.

Don’t worry, I ain’t saying they taste the same at all. But I am sayin that the texture has a similar crunch depending on how crispy you like it.

I’d definitely suggest giving this a try if you’re lookin for a different type of sandwich to make.
