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.

Provided by France C

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.
