Should I use fresh grated cheese or the other one

This was sooooooo good!!! I used frozen cauliflower straight from the freezer and roasted for 25 minutes total, but turned the cauliflower after 15 minutes. They were perfection! I heated leftovers in the microwave today and served with two crispy fried eggs over easy on top. Incredibly delicious and satisfying (who needs potatoes?)! These are going to be in regular rotation going forward. Yum!

I will admit to not caring much for cauliflower. I did make cauliflower soup recently, though, and it was delicious. So now I'm going to take another leap of faith and give this recipe a try. It really does look good! I know my vegetable-lovin' husband will love it!

This looks absolutely delicious and am going to try this tonight. But I have a question about roasting cauliflower. Every time I've attempted to roast cauliflower, it comes out of my oven feeling rubbery in texture and not very palatable. What am I doing wrong?
Anna says
Best cauliflower ever! I roasted it for 27 minutes, was perfectly cooked.
