A long time family favorite; this simple, easy and great tasting recipe combines roasted cauliflower with browned butter. Roasting brings out maximum flavor from the cauliflower and results in a scrumptious caramelized crust, a tender and creamy inside, with a slightly sweet and nutty flavor. The addition of browned butter both enhances and intensifies the nutty flavor and imparts richness.

Roasted Cauliflower Ingredients

1 large head cauliflower, separated into florets (about 6 cups)	2 tbsps lemon juice, freshly squeezed
2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced	Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 to 3 tbsps extra-virgin olive oil	2 to 3 tbsps butter

Instructions for Roasted Cauliflower

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Toss cauliflower with oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Spread cauliflower evenly in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast in hot oven until softened and lightly browned, about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even roasting. Test with a fork for desired doneness.

Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat; cook about 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Combine cauliflower and browned butter in a bowl, and gently toss to coat. Serve warm.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Note: Amounts of garlic, olive oil and butter will depend on size of cauliflower head and taste.
