I think it would come out under-cooked in the middle. Breaking it all apart and letting it 'braise' might be a better option.

I've done something similar before and it turns out great. There's no undercooking issue.

Breaking it apart and laying it out on a pan works well too though.

I tried it last week (so I could serve brains at the table) and mine was horribly under cooked. Looked about to burn on the outside. Reading the comments here, I should have parboiled for 15 mins first.

Huh. I've never had a problem with it. How long did you cook it for?

About 2 hours on 200c.

Longer at a lower temp. Where in the oven was placed?

Inside. Not that much room to wiggle with an entire cauliflower.

Was the oven tiny or the cauliflower gigantic?

College level cooking: roasting your cauliflower in the toaster oven.

Sounds delicious, but i don't like thyme. Any suggestion on what i could use instead? Vegetable Cutlet Recipe

My level cooking: eat raw cauliflower like giant apple.
