ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH LEMON BROWN BUTTER



Roasted Cauliflower With Lemon Brown Butter image

I came across this in my local newspaper. I am discovering that I really like cauliflower! I wouldn't touch it when I was a kid, but now I appreciate how versatile a vegetable it really is. This recipe is really interesting because the brown butter is made with fried sage leaves and roasting the cauliflower adds an additional layer of flavor.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH LEMON BROWN BUTTER



Roasted Cauliflower With Lemon Brown Butter image

Roasting vegetables is easy, but this technique elevates the everyday dinner staple. A pan of water in the oven with the cauliflower helps maintain its succulence, while an even temperature browns it and brings out its natural sugars. Brown butter and sage take it over the top.

Time 1h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup sage leaves, loosely packed
1 tablespoon sea salt, more for tossing
3 medium-large heads cauliflower (about 3 pounds)
About 1 teaspoon table salt

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.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH BROWN BUTTER



Roasted Cauliflower with Brown Butter image

This buttery, caramelized crown of cauliflower proves you don't need to get complicated to achieve dramatic, decadent results in the kitchen. Whole-roasting provides an even surface for basting with brown butter, which trickles into the crevices and crisps the exterior. Finish simply with a shower of salt, and you've got a beautiful side dish hearty enough to serve as a main.

Provided by Michael Ruhlman

Categories     side-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 head cauliflower, whole
1 tablespoon canola oil
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (425 degrees F, if using convection). Cut the stem off the cauliflower as close to the florets as possible to provide a flat base for roasting. Remove and discard any green leaves. Place the cauliflower in a cast-iron skillet and rub oil all over the surface. Place in the oven and roast, 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven; the cauliflower should be light brown and slightly softened. Use your hands to carefully mash the softened butter onto the top of the cauliflower. Place back into the oven for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven. Tilt the skillet to pool the brown butter at one end, then use a spoon to thoroughly baste the cauliflower. Test for doneness by inserting a sharp knife into the center: the cauliflower should be completely tender with no resistance. If it needs a bit more time in the oven, baste one final time and place back in the oven for 10 more minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, baste again, and test for doneness. Sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and serve whole or cut into wedges.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield about 4 side dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Kosher salt
1 head cauliflower (about 2 pounds), broken into small florets
1/4 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons fresh breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced parsley
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain in a colander in the sink.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter, and move the pan in a circular motion as it melts. When the butter's foam begins to subside, after a couple minutes, add the breadcrumbs. Continue cooking and swirling the skillet, until the butter begins to brown, about 30 seconds more. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice to stop the cooking.
  • Add the cauliflower and parsley to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and toss until evenly coated with the brown butter. Warm over medium heat if needed. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.

LEMONY CAULIFLOWER WITH HAZELNUTS AND BROWN BUTTER



Lemony Cauliflower With Hazelnuts and Brown Butter image

Steamed cauliflower has a bad reputation, but doused in enough fresh lemon juice, warm browned butter and crunchy hazelnuts, it's impossible not to appreciate its soft, creamy texture and delicate flavor. Steam larger florets so the cauliflower doesn't become waterlogged, then coarsely crush it after cooking for easier eating.

Provided by Alison Roman

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 small head cauliflower, broken into larger florets
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup skin-on hazelnuts, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus 1 lemon, halved for serving
¼ cup finely chopped chives
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Place cauliflower in a steamer basket set over a large, lidded pot (preferably wider than taller) of boiling water. Season with salt and pepper. Cover the pot and steam until cauliflower is totally tender, 8 to 10 minutes. (You can check the doneness by piercing it with a paring knife or fork.)
  • Meanwhile, heat butter and hazelnuts in a small pot over medium heat. Cook, swirling the pot occasionally, until the butter has melted and begins to brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Using a wooden spoon or small whisk, stir the butter, making sure all the milk solids and hazelnuts are browning evenly. Add olive oil and continue to cook until both the butter and hazelnuts are deeply golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes more.
  • Once the cauliflower is done, use a potato masher or large fork to gently crush it into bite-size pieces. Transfer cauliflower to a large serving platter or plate, and drizzle with 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Spoon hazelnut mixture over the cauliflower, and top with chives and flaky salt. Serve alongside lemon halves for squeezing.
