ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH CAPER BROWN BUTTER



Roasted Cauliflower with Caper Brown Butter image

Turn boring cauliflower into a delicious side when you top it with a caper and garlic brown butter. I like to cut my cauliflower into slices instead of florets, so there is more flat surface area for roasting and the topping doesn't slide off.

Categories     Fruits and Vegetables     Vegetables     Cauliflower     Roasted

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 medium head cauliflower
3 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup salted butter
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped capers
¼ teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Trim off the bottom of the cauliflower stem to create a flat surface. Place cauliflower head onto a cutting board with the stem side facing down; cut the cauliflower vertically into 1 to 1 1/2-inch thick slices. Remove any tough stem pieces. Cut the slices into smaller pieces, about the size of florets. Place on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Roast in the oven for 10 minutes; flip pieces over and roast for 10 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, cut butter into 4 pieces. Melt in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until butter begins to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Butter will foam up, then subside. The butter should have a nutty aroma. Stir in garlic and continue stirring for 15 to 20 seconds. Add in capers and lemon pepper. Remove from heat.
  • Spoon brown butter over the roasted cauliflower and serve.

Tips for Roasting Cauliflower with Crispy Capers:

  • Choosing the Right Cauliflower: Select a head of cauliflower that is compact and heavy for its size, with tightly packed florets. Avoid heads with brown spots or wilted leaves.
  • Roasting Temperature and Time: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for optimal roasting. Roast the cauliflower for 20-25 minutes, or until the florets are tender and slightly charred.
  • Seasoning and Spices: Use a combination of olive oil, salt, and pepper as the base seasoning for the cauliflower. You can also add additional spices like garlic powder, paprika, or cumin for a more flavorful roast.
  • Crispy Capers: To make the crispy capers, heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the capers and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Garnish and Serving: Sprinkle the roasted cauliflower with crispy capers, chopped parsley, and lemon zest for a colorful and flavorful presentation. Serve immediately as a side dish or as a vegetarian main course.
