Notes
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 3-4 days in the fridge but they are best eaten within the first few hours. To re-crisp, heat them in the oven or in a toaster oven, not in the microwave.
Freezing Instructions: Yes, after step 3 when you spread out the cauliflower on the baking sheet, you can freeze that baking sheet. Once they're solid frozen, you can transfer to a bag and then resume from step 4 when you're ready to bake them. They will need an extra 5-10 minutes though.
* Please note the nutrition label does not include the ranch dressing or the carrots/celery.
