Description
A simple yet sophisticated dish that transforms cauliflower into a golden-brown delight through the magic of roasting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head of cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- Salt
- Pepper
- Optional seasonings (e.g., garlic powder, paprika, Parmesan cheese)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Cut cauliflower into florets and place in a large bowl.
- Drizzle with olive oil and melted butter.
- Season with salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings you prefer.

Notes
For a cheesy crust, sprinkle Parmesan cheese before the last few minutes of roasting. Ensure adequate space between florets to prevent steaming.
