Roasted Cauliflower with Garlic Herb Butter

22 Jun Roasted Cauliflower with Garlic Herb Butter

It is such a treat to have cauliflower in our shares this week.  One of my favorite ways to serve cauliflower is by roasting it.  This recipe showcases that method but then uses a garlic herb butter to boost the flavor of this amazing vegetable.

Roasted Cauliflower with Garlic Herb Butter

Ingredients:
1 head cauliflower
2-3 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper
4 Tbsp salted butter
2 garlic scapes, finely chopped (should be about 2 Tbsp)
2 tsp fresh herbs of choice, finely chopped*

• Cut cauliflower into 1-inch chunks and place in a medium bowl.
• In a small bowl, mix oil with salt and pepper. Drizzle on the cauliflower and toss to coat.
• Spread onto a baking sheet in a single layer.

• Roast at 425°F for 25 minutes. Mix about halfway through cooking.
• While cauliflower is roasting, make garlic herb butter. Melt butter in small saucepan.
• Add garlic scapes and fresh herbs. Simmer on low for 5 minutes.  Turn off and wait for cauliflower to be done roasting.
• Remove cauliflower from oven and place in bowl. Pour on melted garlic herb butter.  Toss to coat and serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

*So many fresh herbs would work in this recipe.  You can use just one or mix two or three.  I used lemon thyme and it paired really well with the cauliflower.
