Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Separate the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and place them on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Drizzle the cauliflower with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and golden brown, flipping halfway through.

Step 5

While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the mustard sauce: Heat the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until melted.

Step 6

Add the flour to the melted butter and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

Step 7

Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to prevent lumps. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.

Step 8

Stir in the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Cook for 1 more minute and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Once the roasted cauliflower is done, transfer it to a serving dish.

Step 10

Drizzle the warm mustard sauce over the roasted cauliflower.

Step 11

Sprinkle fresh dill generously over the top and serve immediately.
