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 the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is firm and has tightly packed florets. Avoid heads with any signs of bruising or discoloration.
  • Cut the cauliflower into even-sized florets: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Roast the cauliflower at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the florets and give them a crispy texture.
  • Use a flavorful oil: Olive oil or avocado oil are both good choices.
  • Season the cauliflower generously: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika are all good options.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: If you overcrowd the baking sheet, the cauliflower will not cook evenly.
  • Roast the cauliflower until it is tender and slightly browned: This should take about 25-30 minutes.
  • Serve the cauliflower immediately: Roasted cauliflower is best served hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Dijon roasted cauliflower is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give Dijon roasted cauliflower a try. You won't be disappointed!
