Drop a whole cauliflower in the crock pot and get ready for a delicious meal in no time

Instructions

1. Prep the cauliflower: Remove any tough outer leaves and trim the stem so it sits flat in the slow cooker.

2. Make the spice rub: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

3. Season: Rub the spice mixture evenly over the entire cauliflower.

4. Cook: Pour broth into the slow cooker, add the cauliflower, cover, and cook on LOW for 3–4 hours (or until fork-tender).

5. Serve: Carefully transfer to a platter, garnish with parsley, and slice into wedges.

Pro Tips

• For a golden crust: Broil for 3–5 minutes after slow cooking (watch closely!).

• Boost flavor: Add whole garlic cloves, lemon slices, or herbs to the broth.

• Make it creamy: Serve with a side of yogurt sauce or melted cheese.

Flavor Variations

• Middle Eastern: Add ½ tsp cumin + ¼ tsp turmeric, garnish with tahini and pomegranate seeds.

• Italian: Use dried oregano and basil, top with marinara and Parmesan.

• Spicy: Mix in ½ tsp chili flakes or cayenne before cooking.

This fuss-free dish proves that simple ingredients can be extraordinary with the right technique. Set it, forget it, and enjoy a surprisingly elegant meal!
