Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Whole-grain mustard
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon White wine vinegar
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and discard the stem and leaves.

Step 3

Toss the florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper in a large mixing bowl until evenly coated.

Step 4

Arrange the florets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread them out in a single layer.

Step 5

Roast the cauliflower in the oven for 15–20 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned around the edges, flipping halfway through for even browning.

Step 6

While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the mustard sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, honey, and white wine vinegar.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and garlic powder, whisking until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Heat gently, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Drizzle the tangy mustard sauce generously over the roasted cauliflower florets.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
