Here, the briny capers, lemon juice and sweet raisins allow the caramelized, nutty cauliflower to shine. -Gina Myers, Spokane, Washington

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 F. Cut the cauliflower into half-inch slices, trimming and discarding the core.
- Rub the bottom of a large casserole or gratin dish with 2 tablespoons butter and season with salt and pepper. Layer the cauliflower slices in the bottom of the dish.

Melt the remaining butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add the garlic and the breadcrumbs and toast until slightly golden. Season with salt and pepper. Add ½ cup water and the oil to the cauliflower, top with the toasted breadcrumbs, and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:
- To achieve the perfect texture for your cauliflower, steam it until it's tender but still has a slight bite. Overcooking will result in mushy cauliflower.
- If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can make your own by pulsing regular breadcrumbs in a food processor until they're fine and crumbly.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices in the breadcrumb mixture. Garlic powder, paprika, and dried thyme are all great additions.
- For a cheesy twist, sprinkle some grated Parmesan or Cheddar cheese over the cauliflower before baking.
- If you're short on time, you can skip the steaming step and simply roast the cauliflower florets in the oven at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
Conclusion:
This simple yet flavorful cauliflower dish is a great way to enjoy this healthy vegetable. The crispy, buttery breadcrumb topping adds a delicious crunch that complements the tender cauliflower perfectly. Serve it as a side dish or main course, and enjoy the rave reviews from your family and friends.
