# Expert Pointers:

01 -
  • The cauliflower gets genuinely crispy and saucy without any frying involved, which feels like a small victory every single time.
  • The ranch slaw is creamy and tangy enough that you won't miss dairy, and it stays fresh and crunchy even after assembly.
  • You can prep the components ahead and assemble in minutes, making it perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep.
02 -
  • The cauliflower has to bake uncovered first before you add the sauce, if you sauce it from the start it gets soggy and steams instead of crisping up.
  • Don't cut your avocado more than 10 minutes before assembly or it'll start browning, and that's not the look you're going for.
03 -
  • If your cauliflower florets are large, cut them smaller so you get more of that crispy exterior per piece and everything finishes cooking at the same time.
  • Don't skip the halfway flip during the first bake, it makes the difference between unevenly cooked and evenly golden.
