Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, discarding the core and leaves.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.

Step 5

While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the brown butter. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma, about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to let it burn.

Step 6

Remove the browned butter from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice. Set it aside.

Step 7

Once the cauliflower is roasted, transfer it to a serving dish and drizzle the brown butter sauce evenly over the top.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
