💡 Notes & Tips
- Use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder.
- The amount of garlic might be a lot for some. I recommend using 2-3 medium garlic if you do not like garlic much.
- Swap the butter with olive oil.
- Do not over-cook the cauliflower.
- Go ahead and add in some boiled potatoes as well with the cauliflower if you like.
- Place leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or until heated through.
