March 25, 2018 at 7:45 PMDo I remove the dish of water once I’m ready to put the cauliflower in the oven? Or do I leave both dishes in there?

July 4, 2016 at 10:56 AMI’m a little confused. Do you put the cauliflower in the baking dish with the water? If so how much water and then you cover with foil. This seems to be steaming the cauliflower not roasting.
