Mustard-Parmesan Whole Roasted Cauliflower image

Even meat eaters will want a piece of these impressive, high-fiber veggies. The Dijon mustard concentrates in flavor as it roasts, resulting in a powerful punch of umami. Prep and brush your cauliflower ahead of time, then let them sit at room temperature until you're ready to cook.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 large heads cauliflower
1 clove garlic, halved
1/4 cup olive oil
4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, roughly chopped
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the bottom of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Remove the leaves from the cauliflower, then trim the stem flush with the bottom of the head so the cauliflower sits flat on the prepared baking sheet. Rub the outside of each head with the cut garlic.
  • Whisk together the oil, 3 tablespoons mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a small bowl.
  • Put the cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet and brush the entire outside and inside with the mustard-oil mixture. Roast the cauliflower until nicely charred and tender (a long skewer inserted in the center of the cauliflower should pass through easily), 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let rest for a few minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the parsley and Parmesan in a small bowl. Brush the outside of the roasted cauliflower heads all over with the remaining 1 tablespoon mustard and generously sprinkle with the Parmesan mixture.
  • Cut the cauliflower into thick wedges and serve on plates with a sprinkle of salt, lemon wedges and any extra Parmesan mixture.

Tips:

  • Choose a firm, white cauliflower head with tightly closed florets for the best results.
  • For a crispy roasted cauliflower, toss the florets in a mixture of olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting.
  • To make the Dijon sauce extra creamy, use a combination of mayonnaise and sour cream.
  • If you don't have Dijon mustard, you can substitute yellow mustard, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • For a tangy sauce, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine vinegar.
  • If you like spicy food, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • Garnish the cauliflower with chopped fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Roasted cauliflower with Dijon sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The roasted cauliflower is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, while the Dijon sauce is creamy, tangy, and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table, and it is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
