Steps

  1. 1Wash your head of cauliflower well, and use a sharp knife to cut it into bite-sized florets.
  2. 2Place pieces in a microwave-safe bowl and add just enough water to cover the bottom of the bowl, 2 to 3 tablespoons.
  3. 3Place a plate over the bowl and microwave for 3 to 4 minutes, depending on how much bite you like in your cauliflower and how powerful your microwave is.
  4. 4Let the cauliflower sit in the microwave for 1 minute before removing from the microwave. Be careful, the steam trapped under the plate will be hot.
  5. 5Toss with butter and salt and pepper or serve alongside ranch or cheese sauce as a simple side and enjoy!
